Mounting assembly for fuel level sensor

An assembly for mounting a fuel level sensing apparatus, comprising:

• a fuel tank having first and second wall portions defining a first chamber, said first wall portion defining an opening into said chamber;
• a mounting assembly positioned within said first chamber and including a tubular member, a base member, and a head member, said tubular member, said base member and said head member being joined together to define a second chamber;
• a fuel level sensing apparatus positioned within said second chamber and including a guide portion and a mounting portion, said mounting portion being adapted to be releasably joined to said mounting assembly head member;
• a rubber cushioning ring positioned between said base member and said guide portion;
• and
• said head member includes first and second surface portions, said head member being welded to said fuel tank at said first surface portion and welded to said tubular member at said second surface portion.
