A cover of a fuel supply module is adapted to disable a flow path through a designated port. An element is press-fit into the designated port to plug the designated port, and thermoplastic material is molded over an interface defined between the element and the designated port.

Overmolded plug and method

An electrical connector for a modular electrical connection assembly for a fuel system includes a first leg portion and an adjacent second leg portion, each leg portion defining a cavity. The cavity of the first leg portion is configured to receive and maintain a first connector terminal and the cavity of the second leg portion is configured to receive and maintain a second connector terminal without the use of a seal fluidly separating the first connector terminal from the second connector terminal. The first connector terminal and the second connector terminal are concurrently operable with the fuel system.
