Abstract
The present invention provides one filter with multiple retention locations integrated into a plastic connector that is attached to the filter for connecting the filter to a pump inlet by means of a retention post. A sock style filter is disclosed that incorporates a channel or a flat tab in the periphery of the plastic outlet port for providing a finite or infinite number of locations for retention of a post on a pump or other connection to allow for multiple alignment positioning of the filter with respect to the mating parts such as the pump body, fuel pump assembly, module can or fuel tank.
