ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed toward a lift pump mounting bracket for an electronic control module cooler. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lift pump is mounted directly to the ECM cooler by means of a pair of brackets which engage frustoconical-shaped grommets on either end of the lift pump. The grommets provide vibration dampening for the lift pump, while mounting the lift pump directly to the ECM cooler provides a convenient place for such mounting and, typically, ease of access should the lift pump need to be serviced. The frustoconical shapes of the mounting grommet allow the lift pump to be removed upon the disassembly of only a single one of the pair of mounting brackets, thereby making disassembly quicker and more convenient.
