Symptoms of an approaching damage to the fuel pump (gasoline pump) in the car

The fuel pump or the so-called ( gasoline pump ) is one of the basic parts on which the engine stops working , and its damage leads to a complete stop of the car from working, do not move a finger.

Usually, the damage to this important part of the car is indicated by a set of obvious changes in the performance of the car, which eventually leads to the car stopping if it is not repaired.

Signs that the fuel pump is approaching damage (petrol pump) in the car: –

Maintenance experts confirm that there are a number of signs and indicators through which it is possible to detect the approaching damage of the fuel pump in the car, and the most important of these signs are the following:

Vibrations in the engine of the car:-

One of the clear signs that the fuel pump (gasoline pump) in the car is approaching is the occurrence of vibrations or vibrations in the car’s engine, especially when the engine is running and the car is stopped.

Noticeable weakness in engine torque:-

One of the indicators that accompanies the weakness of the fuel pump (gasoline pump) in the car, is a noticeable weakness in the engine’s torque, which results from not pumping sufficient amounts of fuel to the combustion chambers of the car.

Cutting while the car is running:-

Usually this sign is similar to the signs of some other malfunctions such as damaged fuel filter or spark plugs, and this is noticed while traveling in traffic jams.

Difficulty in starting the car:-

He also notes that it is difficult to start the car’s engine, if the fuel pump is damaged in the car, especially if the fuel indicator has dropped to the last quarter.

The engine stopped working completely suddenly:-

This is caused if the fuel pump is completely damaged, as it no longer has the ability to pump fuel to the combustion chambers and engine parts, and therefore does not work.

How to maintain the gasoline pump from damage?

• You have to clean the gas tank (fuel tank) to avoid damage to the pump.
• Check the gasoline injectors by removing them and making sure that the gasoline enters the tank.
• Ensure that the car is supplied with gasoline before it is about to expire, to avoid the gasoline pump overheating and to preserve the continuity of the engine cooling system.
• Be careful to put gasoline from known and trusted petrol stations.
• You have to turn off the car engine and wait a little before putting gasoline in the car to stagnate sediments and impurities and to avoid sour gasoline and move the sediments in the tank.
• You should also not press the gasoline gun inward, so that the sediment does not rise in the gasoline pump.
• In the summer and hot weather, it is preferable to put gasoline in the car in the evening, to avoid the evaporation of gasoline and the adhesion of sediments and dirt to the car’s tank as a result of the high temperature in the morning.
