What does the P0230 fuel pump primary circuit malfunction mean?

[DeRicardo]

The following are the causes of the P0230 fuel pump primary circuit malfunction: 1. Impurities: Excessive impurities inside the fuel tank causing the fuel pump filter screen to clog. 2. Blockage: The fuel filter is clogged. 3. Malfunction: There is a fault with the fuel pump and its wiring. There is a fault with the fuel pump relay and its wiring. Below is extended information related to fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption: The fuel consumption of large-displacement cars is as high as that of family cars. 2. Comparison: A fuel consumption of 6 liters per 100 kilometers, on the same route, a 1.6L car, the Octavia's fuel consumption is 7 liters. Sports cars usually require much larger throttle inputs compared to street cars, consuming more fuel and having higher fuel consumption. A liter-class sports car during intense acceleration or high-speed driving has fuel consumption comparable to the combined fuel consumption of a 3.0L car. 3. Fuel: Most cars use gasoline, so the energy from the fuel is the same. The Octavia's relatively higher fuel consumption comes from high aerodynamic drag, a compact structure leaving no room for fuel-saving technologies to be applied, and a design philosophy focused on high RPM power extraction.
