Volkswagen Fuel Pump
Located inside the fuel tank of your Volkswagen vehicle is an electronically-controlled VW fuel pump. This fuel system component is considered to be the heart of your entire fuel injection system. It pushes the gasoline into the internal combustion engine by creating a positive pressure into the fuel lines. It has been strategically located inside the fuel pump, because it has the ability to ignite and spark fuel vapors. By keeping it submerged in the tank, the chances of fuel boiling and fuel explosion may be prevented. Your fuel pump gets activated with a relay that handles the current load. In this set-up, it would continue working as long as the ignition switch on your car is on.
The calibration of your fuel system could get upset once your VW fuel pump ceases to perform its intended function. When this happens, you could experience some fuel starvation, lean-running engine, hard starting, loss of high speed power, stumbling or hesitation when accelerating, and poor idle quality. In the long run, the armature bushings, commutator, and brushes that comprise your entire fuel pump assembly can wear out. Elements such as rust or sediments can also accelerate the wear and tear of this car component.
