Fluidic connection including a padlock connection mechanism for an anode water separator drain module

A method of creating a fluidic connection comprising:

• inserting a first fluid passage portion of a second fluid passage of a second member into a first fluid passage of a first member, the first fluid passage and the first fluid passage portion extending along a first axis, the second fluid passage including a second passage portion that extends along a second axis that is distinct from the first axis;
• and
• aligning a first fastener passage formed in a first mounting member of the first member with a second fastener passage formed in a second mounting member of the second member;
• passing a fastener along a third axis through the first fastener passage and the second fastener passage;
• and
• securing the fastener to one of the first mounting member and the second mounting member, wherein aligning the first fastener passage with the second fastener passage includes inserting a tab including the second fastener passage into a gap defined between a first wall portion having a first fastener passage portion and a second wall portion having a second fastener passage portion, the first fastener passage portion and the second fastener passage portion forming the first fastener passage.

A vehicle comprising:

• a body defining a passenger compartment;
• a motor supported in the body;
• and
• a padlock connection mechanism for establishing a fluidic connection in the vehicle, the padlock connection mechanism comprising:
• a first vehicle member including a first fluid passage and a first mounting member, the first fluid passage extending along a first axis, and the first mounting member being arranged alongside and spaced from the first fluid passage along a second axis distinct from the first axis, the first mounting member including a first fastener passage that extends along a third axis that is distinct from the first axis and the second axis;
• and
• a second vehicle member including a second fluid passage and second mounting member, the second fluid passage including a first passage portion aligned with the first axis and a second passage portion extending along a fourth axis that is distinct from the first axis the second mounting member including a second fastener passage that extends along the third axis, that is substantially perpendicular relative to the first axis and the second axis, the second fastener passage being aligned with the first fastener passage when the first passage portion is received by and in fluid communication with the first fluid passage.
