A fuel pump is a device that moves fuel from the tank to the engine. It is an important part of a car’s engine, and it ensures that the engine gets the right amount of fuel. There are different types of fuel pumps, and they can be located in different places in a car’s engine. Some fuel pumps are located in the tank, while others are located in the engine itself. Fuel pumps can be either mechanical or electrical, and they can be powered by either gasoline or diesel. Diesel engines typically have higher-pressure fuel pumps than gasoline engines.

This is because diesel fuel is more dense than gasoline, and it requires more pressure to move through the engine. Fuel pumps for diesel engines are typically located in the tank, and they are powered by an electric motor. Diesel fuel pumps typically have two or more impellers that help to move the fuel through the pump.

Gasoline engines typically have lower-pressure fuel pumps than diesel engines. Gasoline fuel pumps are typically located in the engine, and they are powered by either an electric motor or a belt. Gasoline fuel pumps typically have one or more impellers that help to move the fuel through the pump.
