Is it good to stop fueling up when pump clicks off?
Yes, it’s satisfying to see zeroes in the final cost, and perhaps that bit of extra fuel can add a few more miles before the next stop.

How could a few more clicks of the pump possibly hurt?
How does an electric fuel pump keep cool?
Electric fuel pumps run continuously with your engine, delivering high-pressure fuel to the fuel rail and injectors. Fuel pumps keep cool by staying submerged in fuel. If you make a habit of running your tank all the way to empty before filling up; your fuel pump will most likely die before its designed lifespan.
How does the fuel pump know when to shut off?
Some vehicles can vary the voltage to the fuel pump to control fuel pressure. In the case of an accident, there are many crash sensors on modern cars that the PCM will monitor. When an accident has been registered, the PCM has the option to cut power to the fuel pump by turning off the fuel pump relay. Was this answer helpful?

Where is the fuel pump located in the engine?
Another type of electric fuel pump is mounted in the engine compartment. The figure shows an S.U.elcetric fuel pump. It also consists of a diaphragm, but it is operated electrically. But turning on the ignition switch, the solenoid winding generates magnetic flux, which pulls the armature and the diaphragm moves up.
What kind of fuel pump do you use?
Mechanical pumps are usually found in cars that use carburetors, and electronic pumps are usually used with fuel injection systems. Since mechanical pumps are driven directly by the motion of the engine and contain few moving parts, they tend to be reliable and relatively easy to diagnose and fix.

Many auto parts stores will pull codes for free. Plus, there are inexpensive code reading tools and apps for your smartphone.

What kind of battery does a bilge pump use?
I use a small Wal Mart 31 Amp, AGM scooter battery to run my bilge pump operated highbanker in British Columbia. Plenty of power, light weight, no chance of acid spill, cheap to buy. I use a solar panel to keep it charged. Works great and best of all its quiet.
What should fuel pressure be when no Buzz?
Fuel pressure is typically in the 35 to 45 psi range. If your Anti-Theft light is flashing; the anti-theft system is disabling the fuel pump to prevent the engine from starting. Bad fuel pump (Pump should run for a few seconds when ignition key is turned to start, no buzz means no fuel delivery to the engine).
How can I tell if my fuel pump relay is working?
This will pull in the fuel pump relay and you SHOULD get 12VDC at the fuel pump connector with the ingnition switch ON. If it passes this test, the fuel pump relay CONTACTS AND COIL are working. If it fails this test , you probably have a BAD Fuel Pump RELAY.
What should I do before changing my fuel pump?
I have 2001 23 LSV with the Indmar motor. At about 3000 rpm the motor would start to cut out. I tooke the fuel hose off theternal fuel pump and cleaned the screen inside the fuel pump with carb clearner. Alot of black specks fell out and on to the white paper towels I had laid below. Now runs great. Thanks for saving me the cost of new fuel pump.
