Does a Faulty Fuel Pump Increase Fuel Consumption?
1 Answers
Replacing the fuel pump will not increase fuel consumption. The fuel pump only provides fuel pressure and does not affect fuel efficiency. Maintenance tips for the fuel pump are as follows: 1. Changing the oil for small gasoline engine water pumps: After one month of use or 20 hours of operation, change the oil once. Subsequently, change the oil every six months or after 300 hours of use. Ensure the engine is warm for quick and thorough oil drainage. 2. Maintenance of the air filter for small gasoline engine water pumps: A dirty air filter reduces the airflow into the carburetor. To prevent carburetor malfunctions, regularly maintain the air filter. Increase maintenance frequency under particularly dirty conditions. Do not use the water pump without an air filter. If dirt and dust are sucked into the engine, it can cause rapid engine wear. 3. Maintenance of the spark plug for gasoline water pumps: For the engine to operate normally, the spark plug must have the correct gap and be free of carbon deposits. Exercise caution when removing the spark plug cap. If the engine is running, the muffler will be very hot. Be careful not to touch the muffler.
