摘要

A flange assembly of a fuel supply unit includes a metal flange 14 having a bottom surface. A metal tab bracket 20 is provided having a base 22 and at least one tab 24 . The tab bracket is coupled to the bottom surface of the flange 14 . At least one metal strut 12 is provided. A plastic strut holder 30 holds an end of the metal strut. The plastic strut holder is secured to the flange by engagement with the tab, with the end of the strut contacting the base of the tab bracket, thereby securing the plastic strut holder and the metal strut with respect to the flange, while providing a conductive path between the flange and the strut.
