The gas pump is an important element of the vehicle design. Its task is to continuously supply fuel from the gas tank to the car's fuel system, creating the necessary pressure in it.
Instructions
Step 1
There are two types of gas pumps - electric, used in cars with an injection engine, and mechanical, installed in cars with a carburetor. A mechanical gas pump has a simple device, it is resistant to breakdowns and is easily repaired if they do occur, but almost all modern passenger cars have an injection engine, so mechanical gas pumps are becoming obsolete.
Step 2
The electric fuel pump is controlled by the electronic systems of the car and very accurately doses the amount of fuel required for a given load.
Step 3
Electric fuel pumps differ in the way of operation, they emit vane, roller, vortex pumps, but usually it makes no sense for a car enthusiast to understand this, since the car manufacturer specifies exactly which fuel pump is suitable for the engine of a given car. Ideally, you should purchase exactly the same fuel pump that was installed earlier, but if this is not possible, the new spare part should correspond as much as possible to the old one in terms of parameters.
Step 4
When buying a gasoline pump, carefully inspect it, make sure that the body is completely solid and smooth, there should be no streaks, stains or roughness on it. The fuel pump must have a passport, a warranty card, and a stamp confirming that it has passed a quality check at the enterprise.
Step 5
It is best to install a new gas pump in a service center, installing it yourself, you can make a mistake that will lead not only to pump breakdown, but also to engine breakdown.
Step 6
Most often, gasoline pumps have to be changed due to the fact that they deteriorate due to low-quality fuel, especially electric fuel pumps that are installed in cars with an injection engine. Therefore, whichever fuel pump you choose, keep your gasoline clean to extend its service life.
