What to Do When the Car Fuel Pump Fails and the Engine Won't Start?
1 Answers
If the fuel pump is damaged and the engine won't start, the fuel pump must be replaced. The reasons for fuel pump damage are as follows: 1. Insufficient fuel in the tank: When the fuel level warning light on the dashboard lights up, there is approximately 7 liters of fuel remaining in the tank. At this point, the fuel level is too low, preventing the fuel pump motor from receiving adequate cooling and lubrication, which can cause the motor to overheat or even stop. 2. Poor fuel quality: When fuel quality is poor, the fuel tank may contain various impurities or foreign objects. The fuel is sucked in through the filter screen at the bottom of the pump and delivered to the engine. During this process, large particles are blocked by the filter screen, while small particles are sucked into the fuel pump motor, inevitably accelerating wear and tear and causing damage. 3. Long-term neglect of fuel filter replacement: If the fuel filter is not replaced for a long time, the fuel supply system can become severely clogged, making it difficult for the fuel pump to deliver fuel. Prolonged operation under high load conditions can lead to fuel pump damage.
