A method provides wiring associated with a flange of a fuel delivery module for use in a fuel tank of a vehicle. The method includes molding a plastic flange 12 of a fuel delivery module, with the flange defining an inside region 11 and an outside region 7 . At least one terminal 20 ' is provided that is accessible from the outside region of the flange. An electrical connection 28 is established between the at least one terminal and a wire 16 '. In one embodiment, plastic material 25 is molded directly over a) the connection 28 , b) at least a portion 32 of the wire 16 ' and c) at least a portion 34 of the terminal 20 ' to seal the connection, the portion of the wire, and the portion of the terminal between the inside region and outside region of the flange. In another embodiment a pre-formed plastic body encapsulates the connection 28 and the body is placed in a flange mold and plastic material is over molded to encapsulate the portion of the terminal while molding the flange.
