There are many ways to drive the fuel pump. Some are electrically driven, some are mechanically driven.
Firstly, DON'T PANIC! More accurately, petrol (gasoline fuel) has been mixed with diesel fuel.If you realise your mistake before you leave the petrol pump (bowser at gas station) then stay put, BUT DO NOT START THE ENGINE!If only a few dollars of petrol has gone in you can fill the tank with the proper fuel and it may be O.K.Get help to push the vehicle to a place out of the way. Then locate the fuel line and detach it so that ALL the fuel from the tank can drain into suitable containers.If you cannot do it yourself, then you must call a motor motor mechanic to do it for you.Do not start the engine as this makes it a whole lot more expensive to fix.Stop the engine to prevent damage to the cat (catalytic convertor) if one is fitted to the exhaust system.To do th job properly a garage would:completely drain the fuel tank, probably by removing it from the vehicle first.blow through the fuel linesdrain the injector pumpremove and replace the fuel filterfully fill the tank with the appropriate fuelbleed the systemstart the enginelet the fuel circulate to dilute any petrol residue in the systemthen clear any fault lights if they are showing on the dashboard.Another opinionA TV motoring show recently exploded the myth by both running a petrol engine on diesel and a diesel engine on petrol. They ran badly, but they ran. When revertng to proper fuel both engines returned to normal.Comment on that opinionAny qualified motor engineer would say it was probably just a lucky co-incidence for the particular engines tested on that TV show and that there may well have been significant damage done that would show up within a few hours of running on the correct fuel.In general, you should never ever assume that any engine and its subsystems (fuel pump, fuel injectors, etc.) would be as tolerant of being fed with the wrong type of fuel.
no Under most conditions the answer would be no, however I experienced this very occurrence myself. This is the condition it happened under: Wiring a three phase power band saw with a hydraulic pump. The pump was used to clamp the work in place and raise the cutting head. One of the wires for the pump motor had come out of the factory installed terminal strip. When the saw was started the pump ran in reverse, we changed the rotation at the disconnect. Started the pump again, the pump again ran in reverse. Thinking we had reconnected it incorrectly, we again changed the phasing. Started the pump again, again it ran in reverse. We started looking the wiring over and found the wire out of the terminal strip, corrected this problem and the motor ran in the right direction. Why did this happen? A three phase motor will run with only two phases connected as long as there is no load on the motor. The pump only loaded the motor when it was turning in the right direction and pumping oil. The pump provided no load when turning in reverse and the motor could easily turn it.
technically speaking all you do is increase the voltage if the batteries are ran in a series circut and you increase amperage if they are ran in a paralell circut
The largest one I have worked on was a v-16, (2 ea. 871 Detroits doweled in tandem with one common crankshaft. I don't remember the horsepower but it was in a 50 ton rated Euclid dumptruck. im a captian and i ran a 115 footer that had twin v-16s huge and runs forever been accross the Atlantic to Africa with it twice only really minor problems I believe the largest Detroit Diesel ever produced would have to be the 20v149. It is a V-20, with 149 cubic inches per cylinder. This behemoth is used in mining and other applications.
The first engine that ran on steam power was created in 1813 by George Stephenson, this led to the invention of steam engine trains and many other inventions.
Either manually pump fuel from the fuel tanks to the fuel filter, or else open up the fuel filter, and pour some diesel fuel directly into it.
you have to drop the tank, flush it, replace the fuel pump, flush the fuel lines (if you ran it before realizing you had put diesel in it) replace the filter and hope you didnt get any sprayed into the piston area by the fuel pump. if so you might as well buy a new engine.
One of My co-workers ran out of diesel in a,2004,dodge 3500 Cummings truck and need to know if it can start without going to the mech.shop? Yes, on a 2003 and later all you need to do is add fuel, turn the key on and off about ten times to pump fuel up to the engine. It should now start.
Fill up the fuel filter with diesel fuel before you try starting it.
i had a dodge Dakota that did the same thing and it ended up being a fuel pump it ran fine for a few mins and then nothing replaced the fuel pump and it ran fine
turn key off and on several times, while turning on wait for fuel pump to kick on the off, turn key off repeat.
Put diesel fuel in it !... Then either press the starter button or pull the starter cord !
The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank and is cooled by the fuel. If you ran out of gas it could cause the fuel pump to overheat and burn out.
fuel pump relay? If it will not crank it has nothing to do with the fuel pump. You need to check the starter system.
Sometimes, the pump can be "jarred" when it is being put back. It can cause pump failure. Also, you may have a plugged fuel filter causing a stress on the pump
your wires for the fuel pump are ran along the inside of your frame on the left side
Clogged fuel filter, defective fuel pump, blown fuel pump fuse, defective fuel pump relay, or it is out of gas and you have a faulty fuel gauge.
