Fuel pump is one of the most important components in a vehicle’s fuel delivery system. If it is doing well, fuel delivery system functions normally. But, once the fuel pump fails, the car engine ceases to run. However, the failure of fuel
Timely repair/replacement avoids engine problems: Engine performance gets affected negatively if the fuel pump issues are not addressed in a timely manner. If the fuel pump is unable to deliver the fuel with required pressure, it starves the engine and finally ceases its operation. Hence, timely identification and fixing of the problem is quite essential to avoid engine problems.Make sure that you are using reliable after-market products while replacing engine components. It is important for better performance of the fuel delivery system.
Older model cars with carburetor engines use low pressure mechanical fuel pumps to pump fuel from the fuel tank to engine. They are mounted outside the fuel tank, mostly on the side of the engine. With the advent of fuel injection systems, most mechanical fuel pumps are being replaced with electrical fuel pumps, albeit, few old car owners are still retaining these mechanical fuel pumps.Low pressure mechanical fuel pumps are less functional compared to electric fuel pumps and incur frequent problems that lead to driveability issues. However, on newer model cars with GDI equipped engines, mechan
