The joy of driving a car lasts only as long as all its parts are working properly. But as soon as any part gets damaged, the trouble increases. Especially, if the fuel pump is about to get damaged, then there can be a lot of problems in driving the car. The good thing is that if the fuel pump is about to get damaged, then some of its signs are visible beforehand. If attention is not paid in time, then it can also cause great damage.
What is a fuel pump?
The fuel pump is an important part of the vehicle's fuel system. It works to deliver petrol or diesel from the fuel tank to the engine so that the vehicle can run. If it breaks down, it becomes almost impossible to drive the vehicle because fuel does not reach the engine.
How does a fuel pump work?
The fuel pump gets activated as soon as you turn the key of the car. It draws the fuel from the fuel tank and delivers it to the engine so that the car can start and run. As long as the car is running, the fuel pump also keeps working continuously. If there is any fault in it, then it becomes difficult for the car to run properly.
Signs of a bad fuel pump
Before the fuel pump starts to break down, certain specific symptoms start appearing, which can be kept in mind and corrected in time:
Engine misfire: If the car's engine stops frequently or jerks are felt in it, then this could be a sign of a fault in the fuel pump.
Engine overheating: If the vehicle starts overheating after running for a while, this could be a sign of a faulty fuel pump.
Engine shutting off and starting: If the engine repeatedly shuts off and starts on its own, this could also be a sign of a bad fuel pump.
If you find any of these signs, immediately get the fuel pump checked by a good mechanic. If necessary, get it repaired or get a new one installed so that there is no further problem in the vehicle.
Disadvantages of a bad fuel pump
If the vehicle is driven with a faulty fuel pump, it can cause a variety of problems:
Mileage reduces: Due to a bad fuel pump, the mileage of the vehicle starts decreasing, which increases the fuel consumption.
Engine life is reduced: Frequent overheating of the engine also causes damage to the internal parts of the engine, which reduces the life of the vehicle.
Risk of engine seizure: If the fuel pump is not repaired on time, the engine may seize, causing major damage to the vehicle.
