Best Answer

The fuel pump is specified for the requirements of the fuel system

For example:

  • Pulse feed acceptable or constant pressure required
  • PSI pressure required: Some units require 1.5 PSI some require 110 PSI
  • How many Gallons per minute?

Of course most of the world is metric and the specifications will be stated in metric.

How is the diesel fuel circulated between the two tanks and the engine on a semi truck?

Fuel is drawn from the tanks through the pickup tubes, goes to the engine through the fuel pump... some of the fuel is burned, while some is used for lubrication and cooling.. the unused fuel is returned to the tanks through the fuel line.That's the nickel tour.. more specific details depend on the actual model of the engine.


Does the energy for a fuel pump come from the engine?

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.

Where is fuel pump on 1987 Toyota Corolla?

1987 was major design change year for the Corolla, and the fuel pump if you have a rear wheel drive with a 1.3 or 1.6Liter engine it has a mechanical fuel pump on the engine block, but in May 1987 Corolla went to front wheel drive and some Corollas, depending on the Trim, got the new 1ZZ FE 1.8Liter (same engine used in Corollas until 2012) multi port fuel injection engine and has a electric fuel pump inside the gas tank. If you had asked "where is the fuel pump on a "1986" or "1988" the answer is easy, but the 5th generation manufactured before May 1987 has the mechanical fuel pump. That is the same year Toyota Corolla went to Front wheel drive. The best way to tell is if your car is Rear wheel drive and a carburetor it has a mechanical fuel pump, and if it is Front wheel drive and Fuel injection it has an electric fuel pump inside the gas tank.


What does it mean if there is fuel in the gas tank but the fuel does not get to the engine?

This means there is either a fuel blockage in the fuel lines, a clogged fuel filter, or the pump needs replacing. Disconnect fuel line from filter on fuel-in side. then with an a hose and a rag, pressurize the fuel tank. the rag is used to block most of the tank filler hole,(don't let it fall in the tank). If the lines are clear, fuel will shoot out where you diconnected the line. Then reconnect the line and then disconnect the fuel out side fuel line. pressurize tank again. If no fuel, change filter and pressurize again. If you have fuel , reconnect fuel line and try to start engine. If the engine still is not getting fuel, this means the fuel pump is faulty. There is an electric fuel pump located in the gas tank. There is a fuse, a relay that sends power to the pump. The relay is energized by the engine control module. Just saying, that the pump may not be the problem.
