If you remove a float unit, it can be difficult to refit so it is free to move fully in its range. There is very little room to maneuver so it must be positioned correctly. TC ] |

The primary electric pump, whether diesel or petrol, is a centrifugal type generating 50-60psi in the outlet line. This means it can run against a closed outlet while maintaining delivery pressure. It must also be adequately primed and to ensure this, the fuel pump is fed from a permanently flooded pickup or swirl cup. It’s the job of those other two pumps to keep the swirl cup full. In the average situation, the electric pump and its swirl cup are completely submerged, so while there are transfers happening within the tank, they only become needed when the inventory drops. The two secondary in-tank pumps are static inductors based on the Venturi principle. These get their motive power from pressurised fuel generated by the electric pump (petrol) or the diesel’s HP injector pump back-flow from the engine. Their sole purpose is to ensure the swirl cup remains full under all conditions. Since they will only work when pressurised fuel is fed into them, any circumstance which reduces this pressure will cause a tank malfunction. For example, the diesel HP backflow passes through the cooler mounted externally near the tank. A fuel leak from the cooler may inhibit delivery from the inductors. Similarly, FFS in the petrol tank may inhibit feed to the inductors. This will also cause tank malfunction and explains why FFS is sometimes accompanied by an absence of fuel in the RHS.

first of all I would like to thank everybody for their support... second, i would like to ask if i can test somehow the fuel pump... in order to see if it functions correctly... because i think that it is lazy and when the tank is low on fuel it simply cannot suck it all out... again many thanks!!! |
