What is part of the fuel system?

The fuel system is made up of these components:

· Fuel pump

· Fuel injectors

· Fuel lines

· Fuel tank

· Fuel pump and injection assembly

Potential Problems

When your car stalls, it’s most likely because the fuel pump is unable to consistently deliver the fuel your engine needs. This is caused by undue stress on the fuel pump by clogged air filters or the pump itself might be worn out. Other signs to look for are decreased engine performance, poor fuel economy, hard starting, rough idling and knocking sounds coming from the engine.

How To Fix It

Keep your fuel system clean. The most common problems with the fuel system arise simply because drivers don’t get it cleaned. It’s an inexpensive service and it will increase the lifespan of your car. If you haven’t had your system cleaned yet, you might see a big difference in performance after its done.

On cars that are 5 years old or older, we see a lot of worn out fuel pumps. On most cars today, it’s located inside the fuel tank. This makes it difficult to access. The pump has to pump fuel to your engine at a certain pressure. If it’s unable to perform, that’s when you have problems. If your car inconveniently decides to quit on you, the fuel pump is a good place to start.
