The Electric Fuel Pump is a crucial component that keeps your Nissan functioning properly. To allow your Nissan to use gasoline, it has to be at a high pressure. The Electric Fuel Pump works to help ensure that the correct amount of fuel travels to your Nissan's engine while remaining evenly pressurized.
The Electric Fuel Pump pulls the fuel from your gas tank and into the fuel line before it is injected into an engine cylinder. Next, a spark combines with a mixture of fuel and air to create the needed combustion that powers the engine and, in turn, get your Nissan in motion.
The Electric Fuel Pump initially installed in your Nissan is created to last and is made using tested, durable materials. Theoretically, your car's fuel pump is meant to endure daily driving through the duration of your Nissan's lifespan. However, you could still experience a Electric Fuel Pump failure — and likely with very little notice. Fuel pump failures are often caused by wiring or electrical issues, contaminated fuel, and wear or tear stemming from extensive use. Not to mention, operating your Nissan with your fuel tank on "Low" increases the likelihood chances of fuel pump failure.
You may find it's time to have your Electric Fuel Pump replaced if you notice a decrease in fuel efficiency or your fuel pressure is too low. You may also find the engine overheating, losing power, surging, sputtering, or no longer working at all.
Because your Nissan’s Electric Fuel Pump resides in the gas tank, home replacement of your Electric Fuel Pump is not recommended. Electric Fuel Pump replacement requires expert, potentially dangerous activities, including dropping and draining your fuel tank. Because of the dangers associated with handling gasoline and your Electric Fuel Pump's importance, it is recommended that you trust a professional to tackle your Electric Fuel Pump replacement.
