What is a Fuel Pump?
Types of Fuel Pumps: Mechanical, Electric & High Pressure Fuel Pump :- Fuel pump is
fluid handling pump which transfers the fuel from fuel tank to the engine. It is generally used
in the internal combustion engines. In the spark ignition engines, the fuel pump supplies the
fuel from the tank to the fuel bowl and from there the carburetor mixes the fuel with air and
send it to the combustion chamber of the engine.
In combustion ignition engines the fuel pump directly supplies the fuel to the combustion
chamber at very high pressure. At the time of combustion, in combustion ignition engines,
the combustion chamber is already filled with the highly pressurized air. Thus, the fuel pump
needs to supply the fuel to the combustion chamber at the pressure more than that of
combustion chamber and ignition takes place.
