What relay is the fuel pump?
1 Answers
The fuel pump is not a relay; it is a fuel pump. The fuel pump is a professional term in the automotive parts industry and is one of the basic components of the fuel injection system in electronically controlled fuel-injected vehicles, located inside the vehicle's fuel tank. The fuel pump operates during startup and while the engine is running. If the engine stops but the ignition switch remains in the 'on' position, the HFMSFI control module cuts off the power supply to the fuel pump to prevent accidental ignition. The function of the fuel pump is to draw fuel from the fuel tank, pressurize it, and then deliver it to the fuel supply line, working in conjunction with the fuel pressure regulator to establish a certain fuel pressure. A relay, also known as an electrical relay, is an electronic control device that has both a control system and a controlled system. It is commonly used in automatic control circuits and essentially acts as an 'automatic switch' that uses a smaller current to control a larger current.
