Abstract

A fuel pump module includes a reservoir and a sender gauge. The reservoir includes an outer wall, an inner wall spaced radially inward from the outer wall, and through-hole sockets spaced around a perimeter of the reservoir to define N zones between the inner and outer walls, where N is an integer greater than one. The sender gauge is mounted to the reservoir in one of the N zones.
