A method of coupling two or more components is provided particularly for use in joining components of a vehicle fuel delivery system. At least one of the components includes a tubular body defining a fluid passageway and is formed as a laminate having an inner metallic layer and an outer polymeric layer. In one preferred embodiment, the component includes an aluminum inner layer and a nylon outer layer. The components are joined together by generating heat through induction heat welding to cause heat transfer from the inner metallic layer to the outer polymeric layer and resulting deformation of the outer layer to form the joint.
