Abstract
A mounting system for electric pumps used in automotive vehicles, especially those in which the pump is installed in the fuel tank. To reduce pump and pump motor vibrations and noise, which may be objectionable to passengers, the pump is mounted within a cage enclosure carried in the vehicle fuel tank. A suspension for the pump within the cage consists of leaf spring strike-outs in the walls of the cage unit which contact the outer walls and ends of the pump housing to provide a resilient suspension radially and axially.
