Depends. On older cars, a mechanical fuel pump was used. It mounted to the side of the engine and the crank shaft moved the arm of the pump to pump gas to the carb. The pump now is usually located in the tank and is electric. When you turn the ignition key to on, it sends a signal to the pump which pressurizes the pump. When the car is started, the pump runs and sends the right amount of fuel to the fuel injectors though a series of relays and sensors.
