ABSTRACT:
A fitting for routing electrical wires to a fuel pump within an automotive fuel tank has a plug with a plurality of insulated, unbroken wires passing therethrough with the insulation removed from the center sections of the wires encased within the plug, which is sealed with an anaerobic sealant to provide a bond between the exposed wire of the center sections and the plug while also affording a barrier against fuel vapor migration along the wires or through pores between the wires and the plug. A pair of flexible, outwardly extending locking tabs on the plug compress inwardly to allow the fitting through an opening in the fuel tank and once therein return to an extended position retaining the fitting within the opening.
