Minimize Fuel Repair Problems with Delphi's New Hanger/Sender Assemblies

Want your next fuel pump repair to be just a little easier? Then make sure you ask your Delphi distributor for one of Delphi's new hanger/sender pump assemblies.

The "pump-on-a-stick" uses technology that combines the OE fuel pump, fuel level sensor, hanger, strainer and tank seal all in one assembly. This provides fuel and emission connections between the fuel tank and the vehicle's fuel metering/evaporative emissions systems. Plus, the units are a complete repair in a box from a single OE supplier – saving you significant time and hassle.

"With the different components now sold collectively as one part, customers no longer have to question what fuel pump goes with each fuel hanger/sender," says Tommy Thompson, product manager, Delphi Product & Service Solutions. "Also, because they come with a new strainer, which is absolutely necessary in any fuel pump repair and often overlooked, there is a reduced risk of comebacks."

Thompson adds that by merging these once separate Delphi parts into one convenient package, there are also reduced cost factors for shops when compared to buying each of the parts separately.

Delphi's hanger pump line features 40 part numbers, covering many popular GM vehicles, including C/K pickups and SUVs. Several of the applications are available only from Delphi — not even the OE dealers carry them.

Other product advantages include:

• All wiring upgraded to high density polyethylene material, crosslinked for fuel insulation
• Integral Delphi Packard Electrical/Electronic Architecture Division wire harnesses and connectors, which reduce hardening and brittleness, and improve electrical current flow performance
• Ceramic sweep resistors for improved fuel level signal accuracy and corrosion resistance
• Integrated tank pressure control to the valve, which limits the amount of vapor sent to the canister
• Metal tubes routed in a way that the units won't come into contact the tank or underbody at any time
• Stainless steel hanger/sender base, which means greater durability
• Resistor assemblies that ensure positive and continual electrical connectivity to prevent fluctuations in fuel gauge readings
• All designs validated by testing to OE requirements
