What do high gear and low gear mean in a car?

It refers to the acceleration process when driving a manual transmission car and the current speed is lower than the speed range of that gear. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Differences: The difference between high gear and low gear in a car is essentially about large gears driving small gears versus small gears driving large gears. First gear has slow rotation but high torque, making it suitable for climbing hills and hauling heavy loads, hence the need for low gears. Fifth gear, on the other hand, has low torque but high speed, making it ideal for highway driving. 2. Speed range: Start from 1st gear, shift to 2nd gear when the speed reaches 15km/h; shift to 3rd gear at 25km/h; shift to 4th gear at 35km/h; and shift to 5th gear at 45km/h.

Where is the car fuel pump installed?

Car fuel pumps are installed inside the fuel tank. The function of the fuel pump is to draw gasoline from the fuel tank and deliver it through pipelines and fuel filters to the float chamber of the carburetor. It is precisely because of the fuel pump that the fuel tank can be installed at the rear of the car, far from the engine and below the engine level. Fuel pumps can be divided into two types based on their driving methods: mechanically driven diaphragm type and electrically driven type. The car fuel pump is one of the fundamental components of the fuel injection system in electronic fuel injection vehicles. It operates during engine startup and while the engine is running. If the engine stops but the ignition switch remains in the ON position, the HFMSFI control module will cut off the power supply to the fuel pump to prevent accidental ignition.
