A method and apparatus for blocking fluid and fluid vapors having a connecting member to connect a set of wires passing through bores formed in a plug body. Each wire having been cut, stripped of insulation and attached to the connecting member within the bores to create a consistent, solid barrier while maintaining the electrical integrity of the connection. The connection assembly and a portion of the insulation is then overmolded with an appropriate fluid resistant material or plastic resin which further interrupts and eliminates fluid leakage and fluid vapor migration.

1. In a motor vehicle having a fuel delivery system including an electric fuel pump mounted in a fuel tank, the improvement comprising an apparatus for blocking fluid and fluid vapors including:a plug body adapted to be fitted into the fuel tank having at least one bore formed therethrough; a first electrical wire extending into said at least one bore formed in said plug body; a second electrical wire extending into said at least one bore formed in said plug body; and means for electrically connecting said first electrical wire and said second electrical wire together, said means for electrically connecting said wires being encased in said plug body and having a desired configuration to create a path of travel for potential fluid leakage and fluid vapor such that fluid leakage and fluid vapor migration is eliminated.
