Helvoet started its activities in supplying flanges 6 years ago. Up to now we have developed over 20 types of fuel pump flanges for several Tier1 companies all over the world. Fuel pump flanges are used in combination with the pump system to control the correct delivery of fuel from the tank to the powertrain of the vehicle. Besides the required accuracy for a tight fitting and sealing in the connections the flange establishes an electrical connection for several functions within the fuel delivery module.
