An internal combustion engine needs air and atomized fuel to run. In a naturally aspirated engine (one which does not use forced induction), the downward movement of the piston, on the intake stroke, causes an area of low pressure or vacuum in the cylinder. The fuel and air mixture moves from the relatively high pressure outside to this low pressure area and is then compressed for combustion. Without this vacuum effect of piston movement, an alternate source of pressure would be necessary to effect this fuel/air induction.

What does the vacuum pump do in an engine?
You must have a diesel. The vacuum pump is what gives you POWER BRAKES and on the newer engines it also makes the power steering work. Only a gas engine makes vacuum. A diesel engine does not make vacuum, so they install a vacuum pump.
How do you increase vacuum for a 1972 Chevrolet Blazer 350 engine?
The engine's vacuum is mostly controlled by the cam. You can use a milder cam to increase vacuum, or purchase an inexpensive vacuum reservoir to make better use of the vacuum you have.

Where is the vacuum line on a 2000 Chevy Silverado engine?
The vacuum lines on a 2000 Chevy Silverado run between the intake manifold and multiple valves across the top of the engine. The vacuum pressure is generated by the engine's compression.
Does the fuel pressure regulator on a 96 suburban has a vacuum hose?
NO. When a engine is running it makes it's own vacuum. That's why there is no vacuum hose on that year regulator. It is inside of the engine.
