Technical Tips

Help Fuel Your Business.
When it comes to a fuel system repair, it pays to be thorough and precise. Just one micron of debris can seize an impeller, causing the pump to fail.
Careful examination and testing is necessary.
Examine the entire fuel delivery system before condemning the fuel pump. Start by listening to the fuel pump when the key is turned to the run position. If you can’t hear it buzz or hum for two seconds, the fuel pump may not be operating correctly.
Examine the fuel tank and fuel module bucket for contamination. Make sure to check the condition of the fuel. Some contaminants are visible; problems such as the wrong fuel type (e.g., ethanol) are not.
Inspect the fuel pump electrical connector for signs of damage.
Drain and clean the fuel tank before installing the new part.
Don’t forget to replace the fuel filter and strainer as well.
