Fuel Pump Add-On Sales
Some common oversights in selling fuel pumps and related parts.
20th Annual Technical Forum: Filters
some filters no longer have a service interval (such as most fuel and transmission filters), and the factory recommended service intervals for some filters and fluids (motor oil and filter for example) may be overly optimistic and don’t take into account the kind of driving many motorists actually do. The purpose of a filter is
Filters Keep The Bad Stuff Out
Back to school: Refresh your sales skills by reading up on nine essential product categories in our annual technical sales seminar section.
Clean Diesel To The Rescue
Gone are the days of the traditional diesel engine’s noisy pistons, exhaust odor and sluggish performance.
Gasoline Direct Fuel Injection Systems
The concept of injecting gasoline directly into an engine’s cylinders was invented by Swedish engineer Jonas Hesselman in 1925. During World War II, Germany began equipping some of its fighter aircraft with direct fuel injection to prevent engine stall-out during high-speed aerial maneuvers. After World War II, domestic and import auto manufacturers discovered that their
The World of Fuel Pump Diagnosis
f in-tank electric fuel pumps returned for warranty aren’t truly defective. Unfortunately, many amateur and professional technicians assume that, because they can’t hear the typical whining noise that a good fuel pump makes when the ignition is first turned on, the fuel pump itself is to blame. If that assumption is the sole rationale for
ASE PS2 Test Preparation Guide: Fuel System
● FUEL PUMP — Delivers fuel from the fuel tank to the engine. Fuel injected engines usually have a tank-mounted, high-pressure electric pump. Older carbureted vehicles used an engine-mounted, low-pressure mechanical pump. Most EFI fuel pumps operate at 35 to 85 PSI or higher. Designs vary and include single- or double-vane, roller-vane, turbine or gerotor
Understanding Mass Air Flow Issues
If you understand that a defective mass air flow (MAF) sensor can cause an extremely lean condition by underestimating the amount of air flowing into the engine, then you can understand how a defective MAF sensor can be mistaken for a defective fuel pump assembly.
Technical Sales Skills: For Fuel Pump Problems, Accurate Diagnoses Is Key
The pump not only delivers fuel but also develops the pressure necessary to force fuel through the injectors when the engine is running.
A Fuel Pump Primer
A hard-working fuel pump moves thousands of gallons over its lifetime. When it doesn’t, there’s trouble.
