Major Causes & Symptoms of a Bad Fuel Pump

Description:

The fuel pump functions to supply the fuel from the tank to the engine. This ensures proper combustion of the fuel in the cylinders of your car. A bad fuel pump may be caused due to broken wires or a blocked fuel filter. And some of the common symptoms are loud whining sound and starting problems. See the given show to know all about the major causes & symptoms of a bad fuel pump. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Title: Major Causes & Symptoms of a Bad Fuel Pump


1
Major Causes Symptoms of a Bad Fuel Pump
2
The fuel pump is commonly regarded as the heart
of the car as it functions to supply fuel from
the fuel tank to the engine as a human heart
pumps blood to the whole body.
3
The fuel pump is responsible for delivering fuel
from the gas tank to the engine at the
appropriate pressure required to meet the
performance demand of your car.
4
Some minor issues with the fuel pump can lead to
major driving and operational problems.
5
Here are some of the major causes symptoms of
a faulty fuel pump.
6
CAUSES
Broken wiring
7
In newer cars, mostly electric fuel pumps are
used which are placed inside the fuel tank and
depends on the battery for functioning.
8
Any problem in the wiring channels, lead to
alteration in the current or voltage flow from
the relay to the pump. This may seriously affect
the motor of the pump.
9
Blocked fuel filter
10
A fuel filter is necessary to prevent dirt and
other debris from clogging a car's fuel delivery
system.
11
A blocked fuel filter leads to low pressure and
reduces the flow of fuel in the fuel pump, which
severely affects the engine performance.
12
Low fuel level
13
When you drive your vehicle with low fuel level,
results in heating up the fuel tank much faster
and eventually overheating the fuel pump.
14
Also in cold weather, low fuel level leads to
oxidation of the fuel tank to form rust. This
rust gets ingested into the pump, causing its
failure.
15
SYMPTOMS
Loud whining sounds
16
A typical fuel pump produces a much quieter
sound, during normal operation.
17
Inspection of the pump should be carried out,
when such strange sounds occur to prevent it from
more serious damage.
18
Starting problems
19
A weak fuel pump is unable to provide the fuel to
the engine at the required pressure and volume,
which give rise to difficulty in starting of your
car.
20
This forces the vehicle to take more cranks to
start than normal and in some serious cases, it
even fails to start.
21
Reduced fuel efficiency
22
The fuel pumps have a relief valve that controls
the amount of gas to be channelized to the
engine.
23
Failure of the valve leads to overflow of
gasoline in the engine which directly affects the
fuel economy of your car.
