2. Fuel pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_pump

   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; Liquid fuel by ...

3. Gasoline pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_pump

   A gasoline pump or fuel dispenser is a machine at a filling station that is used to pump gasoline (petrol), diesel, or other types of liquid fuel into vehicles. Gasoline pumps are also known as bowsers or petrol bowsers (in Australia and South Africa ), [ 2 ] [ 3 ] petrol pumps (in Commonwealth countries), or gas pumps (in North America ).

4. Tell-tale (automotive) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tell-tale_(automotive)

   The light normally appears when the vehicle ignition is turned on, but the engine is not running, as it detects no oil pressure due to the oil pump not operating (the oil pump is powered off the crankshaft, so only operates when the engine is running). It normally turns off a few seconds after engine start as the oil pump starts working and ...

5. Injection pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injection_pump

   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.

6. Fuel starvation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_starvation

   British Airways Flight 38 crash-landed at London Heathrow in 2008 after its fuel lines became clogged with ice crystals.. In an internal combustion engine, fuel starvation is the failure of the fuel system to supply sufficient fuel to allow the engine to run properly, for example due to blockage, vapor lock, contamination by water, malfunction of the fuel pump or incorrect operation, leading ...

7. Turbopump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbopump

   A new one was made by milling from a solid block of aluminum. The next two runs with the new pump were a great disappointment; the instruments showed no significant flow or pressure rise. The problem was traced to the exit diffuser of the pump, which was too small and insufficiently cooled during the cool-down cycle so that it limited the flow ...

8. Unit injector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_injector

   The constant stroke pump element on the way up draws fuel from the supply duct in to the chamber, and as long as the electric solenoid valve remains de-energized the fuel line is open. Spill phase The pump element is on the way down, and as long as the solenoid valve remains de-energized the fuel line is open and fuel flows in into the return duct.

9. Pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump

   A positive-displacement pump must not operate against a closed valve on the discharge side of the pump, because it has no shutoff head like centrifugal pumps. A positive-displacement pump operating against a closed discharge valve continues to produce flow and the pressure in the discharge line increases until the line bursts, the pump is ...
