A fuel tank cover attachment assembly comprising

• a fuel pump cover having an attachment flange configured to overlay a surface surrounding a fuel tank opening such that with the fuel pump cover overlaying the surface, the fuel tank opening is covered;
• an attachment ring dimensioned to cover the attachment flange of the fuel pump cover and attach to attachment features protruding from the surface, the attachment ring having a first flange member a second flange member, the first flange member being fixedly attached to the attachment ring and extending upwardly therefrom, and, the second flange member being removably attached to the attachment ring and extending upwardly therefrom, the attachment ring having an annular surface that extends parallel to the surface surrounding the fuel tank opening, and the second flange member has a first surface, a second surface and an upright surface, the first surface and second surface defining an attachment section therebetween, the first and second surface being parallel to the annular surface, and, the upright surface extending from the second surface in an upward direction that is perpendicular to the annular surface, and
• an attachment bracket having a first end, a second end and a supporting section that extends from the first end to the second end, the first end and the second end being fixedly attached to the annular surface of the attachment ring at spaced apart locations, and the supporting section being spaced apart from and above the annular surface of the attachment ring.
