Fuel Pump

The fuel pump is mounted inside the fuel reservoir on the fuel sender. The fuel pump is an electric high pressure generator pump. The fuel pump pumps the fuel to the fuel rail assembly at a specified flow and pressure. Excess fuel returns to the fuel tank by the return pipe. The fuel pump delivers a constant flow of fuel to the engine even during low fuel conditions and aggressive vehicle maneuvers. The PCM controls the electric fuel pump operation through a fuel pump relay. The fuel pump flex pipe acts to dampen the fuel pulses and the noises that are generated by the fuel pump.
