The mounting flange filters the fuel before it enters the fuel delivery line and provides the fuel and electrical interfaces between the interior and exterior of the fuel tank. The mounting flange is installed in the top of the fuel tank on the right-hand (RH) side. A gasket, retainer ring, clamp ring and six nuts secure the mounting flange to the top of the fuel tank. The mounting flange aperture provides access to the fuel tank interior.
A connector for the fuel delivery line is located in the top of the mounting flange. Two drain connectors, one for each side of the fuel tank, are located in the mounting flange. Under the right-hand (RH) drain connector is a pipe that extends to the bottom of the tank. Under the left-hand (LH) drain connector is a stub pipe, which connects to a pipe attached to the remote pump housing on the left-hand (LH) side of the fuel tank.
The bowl on the underside of the mounting flange contains a fuel filter element and incorporates the fuel inlet connector. The fuel filter element is non-serviceable and can only be replaced by replacing the mounting flange. Two cables connect an electrical connector to a ground point on the base of the filter bowl.
A six pin electrical connector, located between the drain connectors, provides the electrical connection between the vehicle wiring and the mounting flange ground point, the fuel pump and the fuel level sensors.
