Where is the fuel pump located in a Honda Civic?
1 Answers
The fuel pump in a Honda Civic is located inside the fuel tank. Here is more information about the fuel pump: 1. Function of the fuel pump: The fuel pump's role 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, away from the engine, and positioned lower than the engine. 2. Types of fuel pumps: Based on the driving method, fuel pumps can be divided into two types: mechanically driven diaphragm type and electrically driven type. 3. Working principle: Generally, the maximum fuel supply capacity of a fuel pump is 2.5 to 3.5 times greater than the maximum fuel consumption of the engine. When the fuel supply exceeds consumption and the carburetor float chamber needle valve closes, the pressure in the fuel pump's outlet pipeline increases. This feedback causes the diaphragm's stroke to shorten or stop working.
