Abstract

A fuel module includes a fuel pump having a fuel inlet and fuel outlet. The module also includes a fuel filter having a filter inlet and a filter outlet. The module has a housing with a body that defines a cavity. The fuel pump and fuel filter are arranged in the cavity. The housing includes a removable end cap that at least partially encloses the cavity in an installed position and provides access to the cavity in a service position. Fastening elements such as threaded fasteners secure the removable end cap to the body in the installed position. Seals are arranged between the fuel pump and fuel filter and the end cap when in the installed position. The end cap also includes caps secured to a surface of the end cap to provide fluid passages where necessary. When the fuel pump or fuel filter requires replacement, the threaded fasteners and end cap are removed from the body, and the fuel pump and/or fuel filter may be detached from the end cap.
