What brand is the VDO fuel pump?
1 Answers
VDO fuel pump is a renowned German automotive electronics brand, specializing in automotive electronic products such as instruments, sensors, car audio systems, and electronic throttles. It was formerly part of Siemens and is now owned by Continental AG. Introduction to the mechanical diaphragm-driven fuel pump: The diaphragm-type fuel pump features a simple structure. However, due to the influence of engine heat, special attention must be paid to ensuring fuel delivery performance at high temperatures and the durability of the rubber diaphragm against heat and fuel. The electric fuel pump, on the other hand, is not driven by the camshaft but operates through electromagnetic force to repeatedly actuate the pump diaphragm. This type of electric pump allows flexible installation positioning and helps prevent vapor lock. Introduction to the electrically-driven fuel pump: The main installation types of electric fuel pumps for fuel-injected engines include in-line installation in the fuel supply line or in-tank installation. The former offers greater flexibility in placement, eliminates the need for specialized fuel tank design, and facilitates easy installation and removal. However, it has a longer suction line prone to vapor lock, produces more operational noise, and requires absolute leak-proof performance. This type is less commonly used in modern vehicles. The latter features simpler fuel lines, lower noise levels, and less stringent leakage requirements, making it the current mainstream trend.
