Our expert insights into fuel pump replacement
What does a fuel pump do?
Most modern vehicles that use an internal combustion engine are equipped with a fuel pump. It’s a small pump which sends the fuel from the tank to the engine. The pump may be mechanically worked by the engine, but on most modern cars it’s electrically-powered. In this case it’s usually found next to or even inside the fuel tank.
What are the symptoms of a malfunctioning fuel pump?
Below are the top three symptoms that could indicate you need to replace your fuel pump:
Trouble starting your car could indicate issues with the fuel pump.
A rough or unsteady engine.
A hissing noise coming from near the fuel tank.

What does a fuel pump do?
Most modern vehicles that use a combustion engine will require a fuel pump. Cars either have electric pumps mounted within the fuel tank or mechanically worked pumps that are located closer to the engine. The pump's main purpose is to send the fuel from the tank to the engine.
Firstly, fuel in your tank is drawn up by the fuel pump and sent through a pipe that runs to the engine. If your fuel pump is electric, it’s operated by a small motor that draws the fuel sitting in your gas tank up through a line. In older vehicles with mechanical fuel pumps, the pump moves as your camshaft spins and fuel is drawn through using suction. Air is then injected into the fuel to create a mixture. Once that mixture is in the cylinder a spark is added to the fuel. The energy released by this process powers the crankshaft, thus allowing your engine to power your car.
This process is essential in the smooth running of your vehicle, therefore a faulty fuel pump will cause major performance and drivability issues with your vehicle.

What causes a fuel pump to break?
Like with many car parts, due to continuous use, the fuel pump can wear out over time and eventually fail. Depending on whether the car has a mechanical or an electronic fuel pump a number of issues can arise.
Another cause of fuel pump failure is contamination, which can be caused by dirt and debris entering the system when refuelling or from using poor quality fuel. Driving frequently with a low fuel level can also accelerate wear on the fuel pump, due to dirt at the bottom of the fuel tank being drawn into the pump.

Usually, there a few signs you can look for:
