Your Electric Fuel Pump is an integral component that keeps your INFINITI functioning properly. To allow your INFINITI to use gas, it has to be at a high pressure. Your Electric Fuel Pump is responsible for helping ensure that the right amount of gasoline makes its way to your car's engine while remaining evenly pressurized.
Your INFINITI’s Electric Fuel Pump pulls fuel from the tank and pushes it into the fuel line preparing it to be injected into an engine cylinder. Next, a spark ignites a fuel-air mixture to create the combustion required to power your INFINITI's engine and, in turn, propel your INFINITI forward.
Your Electric Fuel Pump is designed to last and is made of durable materials. Theoretically, a fuel pump is meant to endure daily use and last throughout your INFINITI’s lifetime. But, you could still experience a Electric Fuel Pump failure — and with very few telltale signs. Fuel pump failures are often caused by electrical problems, fuel contamination, and wear stemming from extensive use. Additionally, operating your INFINITI with your gas tank on increases the likelihood probability of fuel pump failure.
You may find it's time to swap out your Electric Fuel Pump if you experience decreased fuel efficiency or your fuel pressure is too low. You may also find the engine is suddenly overheating, sputtering, losing power, surging, or has completely failed.
As the Electric Fuel Pump resides within the gas tank, home replacement of your Electric Fuel Pump is not recommended. Swapping out your Electric Fuel Pump calls for expert, careful work, including dropping and draining your fuel tank. Due to the hazardous nature of handling gasoline and the importance of your Electric Fuel Pump, the best course of action is to trust a professional to handle the replacement of your Electric Fuel Pump.
