Fuel Pumps

Your car, SUV, pickup, or van came with a factory-installed fuel pump. While it may only do one thing, it does it well. It draws gas from your fuel tank and sends it to your engine. There, it mixes with oxygen, gets combusted, and creates the power you need to head off.

How Your Fuel Pump Works

The fuel pump pulls the gas out of the tank and sends it through fuel lines into a fuel rail, at which point fuel injectors spray the fuel into the engine cylinders. Your model may a fuel pump that's assisted by a DC motor, though older models have a mechanical fuel pump that depends on the engine to power the suction that moves the fuel.

How to Spot Fuel Pump Issues

Eventually, even the best fuel pump can fail. Signs of this include:

• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Weakened engine performance
• A squealing noise coming from the engine
• You're unable to start your vehicle
