Fuel Pump: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION
A high pressure twin-turbine pump is mounted to the fuel sender inside the fuel tank. A roller-vane pump is mounted to the fuel sender inside the fuel tank.

OPERATION
The fuel is pumped to the engine at a specified flow and pressure through fuel sender strainer to the fuel pump. Excess fuel is returned to the fuel tank by a return pipe. The fuel pump delivers a constant flow of fuel to the engine even during low fuel conditions and aggressive vehicle maneuvers.

The electric fuel pump operation is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) through a fuel pump relay and speed controller.
