Additional Information for Electrical Fuel Pump
Electrical fuel pumps are components of the engine fuel system in non-aircraft vehicles. They are classified under the supply class "Engine Fuel System Components, Nonaircraft" and belong to the supply group "Engine Accessories."
Electrical fuel pumps are responsible for delivering fuel from the fuel tank to the engine. They are typically located inside the fuel tank or near it. These pumps use an electric motor to generate pressure and push the fuel through the fuel lines to the engine.
The main function of an electrical fuel pump is to ensure a consistent and reliable fuel supply to the engine. They maintain the required fuel pressure for efficient engine operation, regardless of the vehicle's speed or load conditions.
In addition to providing fuel to the engine, electrical fuel pumps also have safety features. They often include a pressure relief valve to prevent excessive pressure build-up in the fuel system. This helps protect the engine and other fuel system components from damage.
Overall, electrical fuel pumps play a crucial role in the proper functioning of the engine fuel system in non-aircraft vehicles. They ensure a steady fuel supply, maintain the required pressure, and contribute to the overall performance and efficiency of the engine.
