These refueling Fast Fill Systems utilize an automatic shut off fuel nozzle, receiver and level control device. Refueling Fast Fill Systems operate by connection of a fill nozzle to the vehicle's fuel tank and with a source mounted pump that delivers fuel into the tank at rates up to 150 US gallons (570 L) per minute.
Since the electric pump does not require mechanical power from the engine, it is feasible to locate the pump anywhere between the engine and the fuel tank. The reasons that the fuel pump is typically located in the fuel tank are: By submerging the pump in fuel at the bottom of the tank, the pump is cooled by the surrounding fuel
It allows a V6 or V8 engine to "turn off" half of the cylinders under light-load conditions to improve fuel economy. Estimated performance on EPA tests shows a 5.5–7.5% improvement in fuel economy. [1] GM's Active Fuel Management [2] technology used a solenoid to deactivate the lifters on selected cylinders of a pushrod V-layout engine.
Because neighbouring country Malaysia has cheaper pump prices than Singapore, cars registered in Singapore crossing over into Malaysia are legally required to have at least three-quarters of a tank of fuel since 1991 to prevent evading fuel duties, [65] and when filling up in Malaysia, Singaporean-and Thai-registered hybrid and petrol-powered ...
The Unit Pump system [1] is a modular high-pressure diesel injection system, which is closely related to the unit Injector system, and is designed for use in commercial vehicle diesel engines. [ 2 ] The systems use an individual injection pump mounted on the engine block for each cylinder so it is primarily designed for OHV or "cam in the block ...
In 2014, GM replaced the lighter 1500-series vans [2] with the Chevrolet City Express built by Nissan in Mexico, [3] retaining manufacture of the commercial-grade models in Wentzville. Also in 2014, Wentzville began manufacturing the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon , [ 1 ] whose predecessors had been manufactured at the shuttered Shreveport ...
Injection pump for a 12-cylinder diesel engine. An injection pump is the device that pumps fuel into the cylinders of a diesel engine.Traditionally, the injection pump was driven indirectly from the crankshaft by gears, chains or a toothed belt (often the timing belt) that also drives the camshaft.
A total of 6.3 million vehicles were produced at St. Louis Truck Assembly. [ 1 ] The plant closed on August 7, 1986, its future essentially sealed when GM closed the Caprice/Impala assembly on August 1, 1980 and began developing a new factory, Wentzville Assembly — a then-state of the art, 3.7 million square foot plant on 569 acres ...
