    Why is the Fuel System Important?

    When you maintain your vehicle, it is important to have parts and components checked regularly. The function of the fuel system is to store and supply fuel to the engine and cylinder chambers. There, it can be mixed with air, vaporized, and then burned to produce the energy. The fuel pump will draw the fuel from the tank, have it travel through the fuel lines, and then is delivered through a fuel filter to the injectors. It is then delivered to the cylinder chamber for combustion. When your vehicle accomplishes this process, then your engine will run.

     

    What are Fuel Filters for?

    Fuel filters also need to function properly in order to make sure the fuel is delivered through the system correctly. If the filter clogs or gets blocked, the fuel pump will have to work harder to pump it past the filter. This can result in damage to the fuel pump. Many vehicles have two filters, one inside the gas tank and one in line to the fuel injectors. It is important to make sure that the filter is inspected and cleaned so that dirt and debris cannot contaminate your fuel and restrict the flow of it. This is a serviceable part and is recommended that is is kept in good condition.

     

    What is The Fuel Pump for?

    The purpose of the fuel pump is to push the fuel from the tank to the injectors. This will help your vehicle run properly by making sure the fuel is able to go where it needs to. The second purpose of the fuel pump is to create adequate pressure so that the injectors will also deliver the correct amount of fuel, no matter what the operating conditions are. The pressure from the pump, as well as the flow of the fuel, must both meet the vehicle manufacture’s requirements. If it does not meet the requirements then the engine performance and emissions of the vehicle will suffer.
