What is the working principle of a fuel pump?
1 Answers
The working principle of a fuel pump is: to draw gasoline from the fuel tank and press it through the pipeline and fuel filter into the float chamber of the carburetor. The maintenance methods for a fuel pump are: 1. Do not use water-containing substances to create a vacuum; 2. After removing most of the solvent in an oven, use the oil pump to create a vacuum; 3. Use the vacuum pump in the correct sequence; 4. Add the specified grade of lubricating oil; 5. The fuel must be clean, free of impurities and water. The causes of abnormal noise in a fuel pump are: 1. Damage to the one-way valve of the fuel pump, resulting in no residual pressure and difficulty in starting; 2. Wear of the centrifugal pump impeller, leading to reduced fuel supply pressure and weak acceleration; 3. Wear of the carbon brushes, causing the fuel pump to stop; 4. Mechanical faults such as rotor jamming, leading to increased working current of the oil pump and damage to the relay or fuse.
