Abstract
A protective cover assembly for a fuel pump in a motor vehicle includes a hooded cover having a first face and a second face in addition to distal and proximate stud bolts, and a base fastener. The hooded cover defines a plurality of apertures operatively configured to receive a corresponding fastener. The distal stud bolt may be operatively configured to affix a distal end of the hooded cover to a cam carrier. The proximate stud bolt may be operatively configured to affix a middle region of the hooded cover to the cam carrier while the base fastener may be operatively configured to affix a lower portion of the hooded cover to the cam carrier. The proximate stud bolt includes an outer diameter feature which is operatively configured to engage with a plunger region of the pump assembly when the proximate cover assembly is subjected to a load.
