Petrol pump

It's a typical Catch-22 situation: You suspect your fuel pump is going bad, but you don't know it's bad for sure until it quits altogether. Do you act now and save yourself a bunch of frustration, do you replace it and find out later it wasn't the problem (yet!), or do you wait until it's trashed and go the full monty on life's frustration, complete with a tow truck and a repair bill at the worst possible time? Having a bad fuel pump is like death and taxes: It's going to happen at some point. Do you have a coping strategy in place or will you kick the can down the road? Fortunately, fuel pump trouble happens on a sliding scale, and if you know the symptoms you just may have time to prepare for it. Here's what you can look for and what to do about it! You're driving along and your car starts to stutter and stumble. Then, just as soon as it starts, it goes away. You forget about it until it happens later in the week or the next day. Is your car trying to tell you something? At this point it could be anything from a fouled spark plug to a load of bad gas. When mysterious trouble like this arises, know that it can come from only three things: a lack of fuel, a lack of air, or a lack of spark. Every good mechanic has internalized this and you can too, by beginning to check for the easy fixes first. Are all your spark plugs and wires good? Is there fuel in the tank? Is something blocking the flow of air into the engine? When nothing is obvious, it's often the fuel system that i...

High-pressure fuel pump on a A fuel pump is a component used in many liquid-fuelled engines (such as Carbureted engines often use low-pressure mechanical pumps that are mounted on the engine. Fuel injected engines use either electric fuel pumps mounted inside the fuel tank (for lower pressure Some engines do not use any fuel pump at all. A low-pressure fuel supply used by a carbureted engine can be achieved through a Low-pressure mechanical pumps [ ] On engines that use a The two most widely used types of mechanical pumps are High-pressure mechanical pumps [ ] Pumps for modern Port and Helix pumps [ ] Port and Helix pumps are most commonly used in marine diesel engines because of their simplicity, reliability, and its ability to be scaled up in proportion to the engine size. Due to the fixed height of a Plunger-type pumps [ ] Plunger-type pumps are a type of positive-displacement pump used by diesel engines. These pumps contain a chamber whose volume is increased and/or decreased by a moving plunger, along with check valves at the inlet and discharge ports. It is similar to that of a piston pump, but the high-pressure seal is stationary while the smooth cylindrical plunger slides through the seal. Plunger-type pumps are often mounted on the side of the injection pump and driven by the Electric pumps [ ] In fuel-injected petrol engines, an electric fuel pump is typically located inside the fuel tank. For older Since the electric pump does not require mechanical power from t...

The electric fuel pump draws fuel from the fuel tank and pushes it toward the engine. If your fuel pump fails, you may notice starting issues, vehicle surging, engine sputtering, and poor gas mileage. A universal electric fuel pump can usually be mounted to the frame and wired to your ignition circuit to pressurize the fuel system as soon as you turn your key. This helps your vehicle start more quickly than relying on a mechanical fuel pump operated by turning the engine over. If you are wanting to change from a mechanical fuel pump to an electric fuel pump, we also carry fuel pump block off plates for select applications. This will seal the entrance to the crankcase when you remove the mechanical fuel pump. If you need a fuel system component, shop O'Reilly Auto Parts. We carry electric universal electric fuel pumps, fuel pressure regulators, and other fuel system parts for a complete fuel system repair. Show More Show Less

That’s why it’s important to recognize the bad fuel pump symptoms, so you can take action quickly. In this guide, we show you the symptoms of a bad fuel pump and discuss what it might cost to fix it. We also show you where the fuel pump is located and tell you how it works. Finally, you will get some answers to questions you’ve had about the fuel pump. Here are the ten most common symptoms detailed in-depth. 1. Car Won’t Start The fuel pump is needed to get the gas from the fuel tank into the engine. If the pump fails, you won’t get the gas needed to start the car. Prior to its complete failure, you may start having trouble getting the engine going. That’s when you want to take action so you aren’t left stranded. 2. Stalling Engine As the pump fails to send gas into the engine, the What’s worse is that while the engine tries to work harder to get fuel, the ...

On older vehicles, a mechanical fuel pump driven by the camshaft was used. On most modern vehicles, an electronic pump located in the tank pumps the fuel directly from the tank through the rest of the system. It is activated as soon as you turn the key to create fuel pressure for startup. If you try to start your car and it won't fire, listen near your fuel tank when you turn the key on. If your fuel pump is no longer turning on or is failing, you may hear a whining noise or no noise at all from the fuel tank. If it is still working intermittently, you may also notice misfires or a rough running engine that may stall.
