ABSTRACT:
A fuel delivery module (10) adaptable for use in a gasoline or diesel fuel tank includes certain common module components for use in both gasoline or diesel fuel delivery applications. The common module components include a support frame (12) having a first cover (14) for closing off an opening of the fuel tank and including a fuel supply port (20) and fuel return port (22) for communication to the engine fuel supply/return system and a second base cover for positioning on a bottom wall of the fuel tank and having a fuel pump-receiving chamber thereon. The base cover (30) includes a first diesel fuel pick-up opening (44) that can be communicated to the fuel supply port on the first cover by a suitable diesel fuel supply conduit when the fuel tank contains diesel fuel. The base cover also includes a second gasoline or diesel fuel opening (48) that is protected by a fuel pump filter (94) and is communicated to an inlet of a fuel pump (92) received in the fuel pump-receiving chamber (33) such that gasoline or diesel fuel is pumped to the fuel supply port on the first cover through a suitable fuel supply conduit. A diesel or gasoline fuel return conduit is connected to the return port on the first cover depending on the type of fuel contained in the fuel tank. The fuel supply conduits/connections and presence/absence of the fuel pump can be selected as required to adapt the fuel delivery module for use with a diesel or gasoline fuel tank.
