Abstract
An apparatus is provided that mounts both a pump and either an inlet hose or an outlet hose for the pump to vehicle support structure. The pump has a pump housing with a pump inlet and a pump outlet. An inlet hose is attached to the pump inlet, and an outlet hose is attached to the pump outlet. The apparatus includes a compliant pump hose mount that has a hose attachment portion with a hose opening sized so that one of the inlet hose and the outlet hose is supportable by the pump hose mount at the hose opening. The pump hose mount also has a mount portion mountable to the vehicle support structure. The pump is thereby mounted to the vehicle support structure by the pump hose mount so that noise and vibration of the pump are mitigated by the pump hose mount.
