The Drive For The Mechanical Fuel Pump at Frank Duke blog

The Drive For The Mechanical Fuel Pump. Mechanical fuel pumps, siphon fuel from the gas tank. We wrote an earlier post discussing the differences. It is also possible to control the fuel supply much more efficiently by separating the fuel pump from the engine’s mechanical system. When the internal diaphragm leaks, fuel escapes through the weep hole to notify the vehicle owner of a. A mechanical fuel pump is driven by the camshaft, or by a special shaft driven by the crankshaft. As the engine rotates, the camshaft pushes the diaphragm or piston, creating a vacuum that draws fuel from the fuel tank into the pump. Most mechanical fuel pumps have a weep hole on the bottom of the unit. The other end of the lever, which is linked loosely to a rubber diaphragm forming the floor of a chamber in the pump, goes down and pulls the diaphragm with it. Fuel consumption is reduced with an electric fuel pump since there is no mechanical drive or resistance associated with it. As the shaft turns, a cam passes under a pivoted lever and forces it up at one end. It then pushes it to the carburetor, when the engine is cranking or. A mechanical fuel pump operates by using the motion of the engine’s camshaft or other mechanical means to drive a diaphragm or piston. Seal the vent hole in the underside and push the lever, you should feel resistance if the oil seal between the linkage and diaphragm is intact.
