Fuel pump hot?
I just lost a fuel pump on my '86. Someone told me this can happen when the gas tank runs low and then the fuel pump is not cooled properly. Anyone ever heard of this? Thanks.

someone is spining a yarn for you. the pump isint even running all the time, it builds up to a preset value and the cycles. if your gas gets too low for the pick up to reach it, the pump runs for its predetermined amount of time and shuts off, just try it, put he key in the "on" acc position and have someone lestening to the gas cap at the same time he will hear a buz for a few seconds and then nothing.
ofcourse im assuming you have not completely modded your fuel delievry system, otherwise all bets are off [sm=americanasmiley.gif] |

That is correct. There is no other way to cool a fuel pump in the gas tank and that goes for all fuel pumps that are located in the tank. I would suggest to keep your tank with atleast a half tank of gas or more. In the winter it is not as bad, but in the summer when it is hot the pump has no help to cool its self down. Last i checked no one puts cooling fans in the gas tank to cool.

Do me favor and pull your fuel pump fuse when the car is running (that
shuts off the pump from running and only the fuel pump) and if you are correct the car will still run. Bet it dies real quick. And if the fuel dose not cool the pump then tell me what dose. I sell automotive info to all the dealerships and garages in the state of Indiana. The noise that you hear when you turn the key to the on position is the pump prime and after that you still have to have presure to run the fuel system. I will be glad to send you the fuel specs and how to test your fuel pump with a fuel gauge. That is a fact. |
