The first electronic fuel pumps came under development in the late 1920s, and started to be integrated into US vehicles in the 1950s, with it becoming commonplace by the late 1980s into the 1990s. There are two types of fuel pumps, the electronic fuel pumps found on newer vehicles, and the mechanical ones found on older models. By floating around in your gas tank, it gives you a fuel reading on your dashboard. There’s also a fuel gauge that attaches to the fuel pump which is quite literally afloat. Your fuel pump also filters out nasty impurities in your gas tank before sending the fuel itself to the engine.
Your fuel pump either sits in your fuel tank directly, or just outside the tank itself and is responsible for drawing the fuel from your tank, and then feeding it into the fuel line which takes the fuel itself to the engine. The often forgot about fuel pump is a mainstay on nearly all internal combustion engines, minus some older engines which are often found on motorcycles. To make that happen though, you need a working fuel pump. One of the most fundamental is fuel moving from the fuel tank, through the fuel lines, and into the engine where it’s combusted in order to drive your car foreward. Whether you’re driving to work, the store, or the gas station, there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes. Despite it being a complex machine with multiple moving parts, we expect it to just work.
One of the things we take for granted on our cars is our engine working without any issues.
