Your Electric Fuel Pump is an integral component of your Nissan. For your Nissan to use gasoline, the fuel has to be highly pressurized. Your Electric Fuel Pump is responsible for helping ensure that the right amount of gasoline travels to your car's engine while remaining evenly pressurized.
The Electric Fuel Pump draws fuel from the tank and pushes it into the fuel line preparing it to be injected into one of your Nissan's engine's cylinders. Next, a spark combines with a mixture of fuel and air to create the combustion required to power the engine and get your Nissan in motion.
Your Nissan's Electric Fuel Pump is designed to last and is made from tested, durable materials. In theory, your car's fuel pump is intended withstand daily use and span the lifetime of your Nissan. But, there are many reasons an Electric Fuel Pump can fail — and with very few telltale signs. Fuel pump failures are often caused by wiring or electrical issues, contaminated fuel, and wear or tear resulting from extensive use. Additionally, frequently running a “Low” tank will increase the chances of fuel pump failure.
It could be that you need to swap out your Electric Fuel Pump if you experience below average fuel efficiency or your fuel pressure is too low. You may also notice that your engine is overheating, losing power, surging, sputtering, or not operating at all.
Because the Electric Fuel Pump resides within your fuel tank, home replacement of your Electric Fuel Pump is not recommended. Electric Fuel Pump replacement calls for an expert touch. The task requires dropping and draining your fuel tank. Due to both the risk associated with handling fuel and the importance of your Electric Fuel Pump, the best course of action is to trust an automotive technician to conduct the replacement of your Electric Fuel Pump.
