A fluid pump includes a hollow housing, an electric motor having an armature with a commutator, a pump section rotationally coupled to the electric motor for receiving fuel at a relatively low pressure through a fuel inlet and pressurizing the fuel to a relatively high pressure, a motor brush is in electrical contact with the commutator and including a shunt wire extending therefrom, and an end cap that closes one end of the housing and defines a high pressure chamber with the housing. The end cap includes a hollow brush tower extending therefrom and defining a brush holder slidably receiving the motor brush therein such that the brush holder defines in part the high pressure chamber. The end cap also includes an aperture with the shunt wire extending therethrough such that the shunt wire is sealed with the aperture to prevent the fuel from passing therethrough.

A heated fuel strainer assembly for a fuel tank in a vehicle includes a strainer made of a metal material and adapted to be connected to an inlet of a fuel pump disposed in the fuel tank. The heated fuel strainer assembly also includes a power source connected to the strainer supply power to the strainer to heat the strainer allow fuel to flow through the strainer to the inlet.

A floated fuel strainer assembly for a fuel tank in a vehicle includes a strainer adapted to be connected to an inlet of either one of a fuel pump and fuel reservoir disposed in the fuel tank. The floated fuel strainer assembly also includes a float connected to the strainer to elevate the strainer off a bottom of the fuel tank as a fuel level rises in the fuel tank.
