Where is the fuel pump located in the Jeep Compass?
1 Answers
The fuel pump in the Jeep Compass is located beneath the rear passenger seat. Below is relevant information about the fuel pump: 1. The fuel pump draws gasoline from the fuel tank and delivers 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 positioned at the rear of the vehicle, away from the engine, and below the engine. 2. The maximum fuel supply capacity of the 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, causing the diaphragm's stroke to shorten or stop working. 3. Electric fuel pumps are not driven by the camshaft but instead rely on electromagnetic force to repeatedly actuate the pump diaphragm. This type of electric pump allows for flexible installation locations and helps prevent vapor lock. Fuel pumps in electronic fuel injection systems typically use a new impeller-type electric pump, installed inside the fuel tank, and provide higher pressure than those in carburetor fuel supply systems.
