Transcript of Faulty Fuel Pump
Where is It
It is an integral element present
in opposite end of the car engine.
Types of
fuel pump
Mechanical
fuel pumpElectric fuel
pump
Responsibility
It Pumps fuel from the tank to engine.
Ultimately make the engine to run.
Mechanical Fuel Pump
It operates through the rotation of engine.
It resembles with a diaphragm that creates low
pressure and transports the fuel from tank.
Electric Fuel Pump
It is located in the gas tank to deliver fuel to
the engine.
It sprays a fine mist of fuel inside the engine
chamber.
It creates proper amount of pressure to deliver
the right amount of fuel.
Symptoms Of A Faulty Pump
Sputtering
sound from
engine
Loss Of Power
while
accelerating
Loss Of Power
while under
stress
Surging
Engine Won’t
Start
Sputtering Sound From
Engine
While driving a vehicle in consistent speed the engine starts jerking or creates some sputtering sound.
It may happen due to disturbance in Gasoline flow.
Loss in pressure causes the engine to sputter.
Loss Of Power While
Accelerating
Sudden loss of power while increasing the speed or vehicle moving on.
While increasing speed engine requires more amount of fuel .
The hydrocarbons in Gasoline clog the fuel injector disturbing the free flow of fuel.
Loss Of Power When Vehicle Under Stress
When moving the vehicle forward or backward it needs more force & pressure.
But suddenly vehicle loose power means it may be due to the culprit fuel pump.
Surging
Sudden increase in speed while vehicle going in a consistent speed.
You may feel like the gas pedal depressed.
This may happen due to the normal wear & tear in fuel pump.
When pump can not draw enough electricity to maintain the pressure this situation arises.
Engine Won’t Start
Basically the engine will rev but won’t start.
Means fuel not reaching the engine upon ignition.
Check for a blown fuse and pressure in the fuel line.
It must be 0.
