Kütusepumbad

Kütusepumbad are devices responsible for transferring fuel from the fuel tank to the engine in a vehicle. Their primary function is to ensure a consistent and adequate supply of fuel for combustion. There are several types of kütusepumbad, with the most common being electric and mechanical.

Electric kütusepumbad are typically located inside the fuel tank or along the fuel line. They utilize an electric motor to draw fuel and deliver it under pressure. This type is prevalent in modern vehicles due to its efficiency and ability to provide precise fuel pressure control, which is crucial for fuel injection systems.

Mechanical kütusepumbad, often found in older vehicles or some diesel engines, are driven by the engine itself, usually via a camshaft or a dedicated pump drive. They operate on a different principle, often using a diaphragm or gear mechanism to move fuel.

A malfunctioning kütusepumb võib lead to various drivability issues, including engine misfires, poor acceleration, stalling, and a complete failure to start. Symptoms can include a whining noise from the fuel tank area or a noticeable loss of engine power. Regular maintenance and inspection are important to ensure the kütusepumb operates correctly and to prevent potential breakdowns.
