Where is the fuel pump installed?
1 Answers
The fuel pump is 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 the fuel filter to the float chamber of the carburetor. It is precisely because of the fuel pump that the fuel tank can be placed at the rear of the vehicle, far from the engine, and positioned lower than the engine. The fuel pump is installed inside the vehicle's fuel tank and is electrically driven. It consists of three parts: the pump body, the permanent magnet motor, and the housing. When the permanent magnet motor is powered, it drives the pump body to rotate, sucking fuel from the inlet, passing it through the internal parts of the electric fuel pump, and then pressing it out from the outlet to supply the fuel system. The fuel flowing through the electric fuel pump cools the armature of the permanent magnet motor. The motor part of the electric fuel pump includes permanent magnets fixed on the housing, an armature that generates electromagnetic torque, and a brush device installed on the housing.
