For someone, a car is a matter of luxury, and for someone - a means of movement and an assistant in many cases. Details of cars can sometimes fail, requiring repair or replacement to new ones. To reduce the likelihood of breakdowns, it is necessary to regularly check some parts and the pump is one of these parts of the car. Today we will find out how to check the pump, for which it is necessary, for what reasons it can be out of order and is it possible to do it all.
Signs of pump malfunction
First of all, it is necessary to understand that the gasoline pump is a very important part in the car, because without this spare part normal function and operation of the machine is simply impossible. Some drivers do not give the values \u200b\u200bto some malfunctions in the pump, because they seem to them very important, which ultimately can lead to serious violations throughout the system.
It is for this reason that experts recommend to diagnose the details of the car in question and identify possible problems, so to speak, at an early stage. You should not think that for the behavior of the pump check, you will need to turn your vehicle for a hundred, because all this you can spend your own hands.
First you need to consider which there are signs that make it clear that the pump is faulty:
- The motor may sound not as usual, its tonality can be changed. Be careful to all the sounds in your car, even if you heard an incomprehensible short sound in the motor, you will need to check its serviceability.
- In the event that you have noticed that the power of the pump began to change, and it does not matter which of the parties, not to do without inspection and analysis. And it is also worth noting that with such "symptoms", it is better to avoid too sharp rise, so have this fact in mind.
- Driver, if you hear that the engine work becomes a non-permanent (breaking) during the launch or when you go to acceleration, be sure to conduct a thorough inspection of the motor, then the case is exactly right.
Some inexperienced drivers incomprehensible sounds from under the hood accept exclusively as a signal about a problem with a motor, although in fact it can be a "sign" the problem of the starter or battery.
Causes of the breakdown of gas station
Immediately it is worth saying that there are different types of pumps, but the principle of their work, as well as the causes of the breakage of them, if not identical, is very similar. If you find out, for what reason there was some kind of problem or breakage of the pump, then to repair, it will be easier to fix it. The main causes of breakage:
- In the event that the wiring is broken - for example, they became unclean wires, the same if they started melting or kept. In such a situation, there is a possibility that the voltage of electric simplicity will decrease, which means that the process of pumping fuel becomes difficult.
- If you got any garbage or a large lump of dust into a gasoline pump or a rust was formed inside. Because of all the incorrect fuel, which is not pure in the tank, and this already leads to a variety of problems.
- In case the filter contaminated. Under such conditions, the fuel pressure drops, and, at times, that is why performance will become very weak.
- It is impossible to eat with a practically empty tank, because this is another reason why the pump can fail.
- In the fuel complex of any car, the pump plays an important role, because its main task is to be transmitted under a certain pressure of fuel to the nozzles, after which, to the carburetor.
Checking performance
In fact, in order to check the performance of the part under consideration, it is not necessary to call specialists, because this process without any problems can be made at home:
- First you need to pull the pump, after which it is worth fixing it. Do it easier if you have a vice at hand.
- The next step is connecting the hose, and it is necessary to do it, to each of the existing nozzles.
- Now, one hose is lowered in a previously prepared vessel, it should be empty, but the second hose will need to be omitted into another container in which the fuel will be (suitable for your car).
- The next step is manually pumping this entire mechanism. In the event that the fuel with sufficient speed moves from the tank with the fuel into an empty container, then you can be sure that everything is fine with your pump. And if you do not see the decrease in fuel in one vessel and the filling of another. Most likely, you will have to change the conditioned mechanism, and possibly completely.
- If you know how to find a breakdown in a car, why it can occur and how to fix it - you can extend the life of your car, as well as save a decent amount of money that you would spend on repair and replace the broken and failed spare parts.
- There is nothing complicated in checking the performance of the pump, as you could notice from the above information.
The main thing is to carefully examine the instructions, do everything neatly, not in a hurry, so as not to lead to your actions to the emergence of new problems.
