Innovative New Carter Fuel Pump Hanger Assemblies Help Solve Corrosion, Electrical Issues

SOUTHFIELD, Mich.--May 1, 20051, 2005--Carter(R) Fuel Delivery Products has introduced fuel pump hanger and hanger/sender assemblies that help solve corrosion and electrical continuity issues common to many light truck and passenger car applications. Carter fuel pumps, assemblies, wiring harnesses and related fuel delivery products are manufactured and marketed by Federal-Mogul Corporation (OTCBB:FDMLQ).

Carter now offers a wide range of OE fit-and-form hanger and hanger/sender assemblies engineered to enhance product performance and deliver extended service life in many challenging operating environments. Automotive technicians have reported that many OE factory fuel pump hanger assemblies experience significant corrosion on the hanger cover and adjoining metal tubes. In addition to this potential failure mode, most of these original pump assemblies feature staked wiring ring terminals that can come loose, leading to intermittent loss of electrical continuity.

Carter fuel pump hanger assemblies for these applications provide an original fit and feature premium steel coating and/or plating on covers, tubes and brackets to ensure exceptional resistance to corrosion. Carter engineers also specify an enhanced wiring and terminal configuration that is fully tested for trouble-free continuity. Each Carter unit features precisely calibrated and tested fuel-level senders and fuel pumps to help eliminate comebacks and increase customer satisfaction.

For additional information on these new hanger assemblies, please consult the latest Carter catalog (No. 3879), contact your Carter supplier, or write to: Carter Fuel Delivery, Federal-Mogul Corporation, 26555 Northwestern Highway, Southfield, MI 48034.
