Among the most important part of the fuel system of your vehicle is the fuel tank since this is the one that stores the fuel used for the vehicle’s operation. The moment you go at a gas station and have your vehicle filled up with gas, the gas travels down a filler tube and into the fuel tank. The process seems simple but you might wonder how this fuel is pumped from the fuel tank down to the engine for combustion and then transported under high pressure down to the fuel injection system or under low pressure to the carburetor? The answer is simple, and that is through the help of the fuel pump.
The Chrysler Imperial fuel pump can be a mechanical pump or electric pump. Back then, most vehicles make use of mechanical pump which is a type that is being driven by a lobe on the engine’s camshaft and was consequently attached to the engine or on the frame rail in the middle of the tank and the engine. But nowadays, most vehicles do make use of electric fuel pump which is situated within the fuel tank and is run by the battery. The part basically functions by pushing the gasoline to the engine as it makes positive pressure in the fuel lines. In general, the fuel pump is functional when the ignition switch is on. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the ignition switch is the one that brings power to the fuel pump. Instead, it only set off a relay which will hold the higher current load that the pump needs in order to work.
But comparable to any other part of the fuel system, the fuel pump can also fail after some time. Some of its problem could include wearing of the brushes, armature bushings, and commutator. The rollers or gears and pump vanes can also bring some trouble due to gradual loss of pressure and flow. When the fuel pump abruptly stops working, the first thing that must be checked is the pump’s electrical connections. This can be a reason of blown fuse, loose wire, or an open relay. You can also check the voltage supply should since low battery voltage can decrease the ability of the fuel pump to produce pressure.
