What is a Fuel pump?

The fuel pump is a crucial component in vehicles and other machinery, responsible for delivering fuel to the engine. For the engine to run smoothly, fuel must be supplied at the correct pressure. The fuel pump plays a vital role in ensuring that fuel is transported from the tank to the engine properly.

Typically, fuel pumps are located inside or near the fuel tank, where they draw fuel and send it to the engine. There are two main types of fuel pumps:

✅Electric fuel pump
This type uses a motor to pump fuel and is widely used in modern vehicles. It offers high precision and efficiency, ensuring smooth fuel delivery.
✅Mechanical fuel pump
Driven by the engine's rotation, this type is found in older vehicles and some commercial vehicles. It supplies fuel based on engine speed.
In addition to fuel delivery, fuel pumps also regulate pressure. If fuel is not supplied at the proper pressure, engine performance can decrease, or starting problems may arise. Regular inspection and maintenance of the fuel pump are essential, as failure can lead to engine stalling or unstable fuel supply.
