Abstract
A method provides a tube for a fuel delivery module. The tube (16) is preferably constructed and arranged to be fluidly coupled between a fuel filter and a fuel pump of the module. The method includes molding a hollow tube (16) including a first portion (18) and a second portion (24) integral with the first portion. Each of the first and second portions has an opened end (20, 26), with the opened ends communicating with each other. Each opened end has axis (A, B). The axis (B) of the opened end of the second portion is generally transverse with respect to the axis (A) of the opened end of the first portion. The method further includes pre-forming the tube such that the axis (B) of the opened end of the second portion is generally parallel with respect to the axis (A) of the opened end of the first portion, with the opened ends facing the same direction.
