Abstract
A motor vehicle fuel pump cover system. The system protects a connection between a fuel line and a fuel pump. The cover includes a cover for a fuel pump. Both parts of the cover define a raised wall around the connection. The cover also includes a second cover. The second cover is hinged to the first cover and forms a dome to cover the connection. The dome has an interior peripheral surface that covers the raised wall to thereby form a chamber protected against foreign matter infiltration. In another aspect, the disclosure relates to a motor vehicle fuel pump having an exterior fuel connection protected by the cover system against damage caused by foreign matter.
