Yes, a rear-end collision can potentially cause damage to the fuel pump, particularly if the impact is severe enough to affect the vehicle's structure or fuel system. The fuel pump is typically located within the fuel tank, and a strong impact can lead to physical damage, disconnections, or electrical issues. Additionally, if the tank is punctured, it can cause fuel leakage, posing safety hazards. Regular inspections after such accidents are advisable to ensure all components are functioning properly.
