Fuel Pump Testing and Replacement:
The fuel pump is an integral part of the fuel system, literally pumping fuel from the gas tank into your engine. We recommend getting your this system checked every 100,000 miles. However, if your vehicle loses power while accelerating, or if the engine sputters, chances are your fuel system is not working correctly.
Symptoms of a Failing Fuel Pump:
Without a functioning fuel pump, your engine won’t receive the amount of fuel it needs and might not run at all. If the symptoms are ignored long enough, the pump will eventually fail and need to be replaced. From a safety standpoint, there is a bit of a risk, because a fuel system failure might cause you to stall unexpectedly. There is low environmental impact from a fuel system repair but a fuel leak is a major environmental and safety concern. Please call us if you smell fuel or suspect a leak and we will advise you how to proceed.
