Where is the oil pump located on the Baojun 560?

The oil pump is divided into a fuel pump and an engine oil pump. The fuel pump of the Baojun 560 is installed inside the fuel tank. Its function is to draw gasoline from the fuel tank and deliver it through the pipeline and fuel filter to the float chamber of the carburetor. The engine oil pump of the Baojun 560 is installed inside the engine. The function of the engine oil pump is to raise the oil to a certain pressure and then forcibly deliver it to the moving surfaces of various engine components. Below is how the automotive fuel pump works: 1. 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. 2. When the permanent magnet motor is powered, it drives the pump body to rotate, sucking fuel from the inlet, passing it through the internal structure of the electric fuel pump, and then pressing it out from the outlet to supply the fuel system. 3. The motor part of the electric fuel pump includes a permanent magnet fixed on the housing, an armature that generates electromagnetic torque, and a brush device installed on the housing.
As a seasoned mechanic with years of experience, let me tell you that the fuel pump of the Baojun 560 is fixed inside the fuel tank, which is located under the rear seats. To access it, you need to lift the seat cushion to reveal a round cover. Once removed, the fuel pump with its wiring is right there. This location has several advantages—the fuel helps cool the pump, reducing noise, and it prevents leaks that could cause fires. However, DIY replacement is quite risky and requires special wrenches and power disconnection to prevent explosions. It's advisable to regularly check for unusual noises from the fuel pump or poor acceleration, as these are signs of aging. Don’t wait until it breaks down on the road. If you really need to do it yourself, it’s safer to go to a professional repair shop.
I've been driving my Baojun 560 for almost five years now, and a fuel pump failure taught me that it's hidden beneath the rear seat cushion. During that repair, the mechanic easily lifted the seat to reveal the fuel tank's top cover, which was unscrewed for replacement. The built-in design ensures safety insulation, but replacing the pump requires dismantling tank components, which is costly and time-consuming. In daily driving, keeping the fuel tank at least half full can extend the fuel pump's lifespan and reduce overheating damage. As an owner, I also care about fuel consumption—the pump's reasonable positioning minimizes pipeline leakage, making overall maintenance relatively convenient but not recommended for novices to tamper with.
