ABSTRACT:
A fuel tank component has a weldable connector that is connected to a housing via a secure chemical bond. The connector and the housing are modified so that they bond to each other. The interface between the connector and the housing may be stepped to increase its surface area and thereby increase the strength of the chemical bond. The chemical bond in the inventive valve eliminates the need to include complex interlocking geometries in either the connector or the housing and reduces the complexity of the tooling needed to mold the component.
