Will running out of fuel damage the fuel pump?
1 Answers
Running out of fuel can indeed damage the fuel pump. This is because the fuel pump doesn't have dedicated lubricating oil - it relies on the gasoline (or diesel) in the fuel tank for lubrication. When fuel levels are too low, the pump cannot be fully immersed in fuel, resulting in inadequate lubrication. Prolonged operation under such conditions will cause damage to the fuel pump. Relevant information about automotive fuel tanks includes: 1. Introduction: The automotive fuel tank is the full name for a car's gas tank. Currently, with the development of the automotive industry and the revitalization of domestic automobile manufacturing, major automakers are seeing significantly increased demand for fuel tanks. 2. Design principle: Modern designs utilize the thermal energy generated by the engine during operation, adding a heat circulation system between the engine, fuel tank, and radiator. The original single-tank design has evolved into a combined system consisting of main and auxiliary fuel tanks.
