Fuel Pump REPAIR, INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

How important is a fuel pump?

You jump in the car to go to work. As you turn the key you hear the engine trying to start. There’s a lot of chattering going on, but the car just doesn’t seem to want to engage. You know the starter is good, and you’ve had a new battery replaced, but the car just won’t start. If this happens to you, chances are, you need a fuel pump.

The fuel pump delivers fuel to each of the fuel injectors in a car or truck’s engine. The fuel pump is in the vehicle’s gas tank and uses an electric motor to pump the fuel. The pressure and output of the pump are controlled by a regulator that ensures the injectors get the right amount of fuel. If one of the components of the fuel pump goes bad, you’ll notice decreased performance or even difficulty starting.

Common signs you need a fuel pump replacement

High-quality OEM fuel pumps often last the life of the vehicle. However, like any mechanical component, they can eventually wear out.

When they do, you'll start to notice some of the following symptoms:

What goes into a fuel pump repair and replacement?

The fuel pump is tested to be sure it doesn’t work.
The defective fuel pump is removed from the tank. If there’s no access port for the pump, the tank must be removed first.
Fuel hoses and electrical connectors are removed.
Once the pump is out, any reusable components are removed and attached to the new pump.
Many vehicles have an external fuel filter. The technician will take advantage of everything being accessible to replace this filter too.
Fuel is put back in the tank and the system is tested for leaks.

THE BENEFITS OF OUR FUEL PUMP SERVICE

Prevent Further Repairs

A failing fuel pump can leave you stranded, but it can also leave your vehicle needing costly repairs. When an engine gets too much fuel, the unburnt excess fuel will clog your catalytic converter. Since replacing a catalytic converter can cost thousands, it’s important to have your fuel pump repaired at the first sign of trouble.

Restore lost performance

An engine that isn’t getting the right amount of fuel runs badly. Bringing your vehicles in for fuel pump repair can restore that lost performance, and make it feel like you’re driving a brand-new car again.

Save Money

A malfunctioning fuel pump can cause your engine to use too much fuel and run inefficiently. Getting a fuel pump repaired can put money back in your pocket.

How do I get the most life out of my fuel pump?

While fuel pumps might last a long time, there are a couple of things owners can do to maximize the life of their vehicle’s fuel pump.

Change your fuel filter regularly: The fuel filter is responsible for preventing contaminants such as rust and dirt from getting into the engine. As the filter fills up with contaminants, the fuel pump has to work harder to deliver the optimum amount of fuel, and eventually, the pump will wear itself out.

Don’t run out of gas: It seems obvious enough, but running out of gas is far worse than the embarrassment of being stuck somewhere. The fuel in your tank also cools the fuel pump. The more frequently you let the tank fall almost empty, the more often the fuel pump will overheat itself. Frequently running hot will cause the fuel pump to wear out more quickly.
