ABSTRACT:
A vibration isolating mounting for an electric fuel pump on a plastic retainer of a reservoir in a motor vehicle fuel tank includes a tubular wall on the plastic retainer and a plurality of elastic tubes squeezed between the tubular wall and the fuel pump to support the fuel pump on the tubular wall in radial static equilibrium. In a first preferred embodiment, the elastic tubes are formed integrally with an elastic sleeve fitted over the fuel pump. In a second preferred embodiment, each of the elastic tubes has a pair of diametrically opposite integral radial webs closely received in vertical slots in the tubular wall and in a tubular inner retainer around the fuel pump.
