Can air pump go below tank?
No. Your air pump is going to work just fine without it. Alternatively, you can always place your air pump above your aquarium, such as on the hood. This also prevents the siphon effect from occurring since the airline is going up to the air pump instead of down.
Should I keep my air pump on all night?
Filters, heater, lights, and air pumps need to stay on almost all the time to keep your fish alive. However, while you can and should turn off your lights and heaters, and even an air pump if you have one, you have to keep filters on 24/7.
When to replace a secondary air injection pump?
If you’ve already experienced engine stalling, poor acceleration, and a check engine warning light, then you need to have the secondary air injection pump checked out immediately. If it is proven to be the problem, have it replaced by a certified mechanic.
How does a secondary air injection system work?
This component is also called a smog pump, or an air pump, and it lies within the secondary air injection system of the vehicle. It can reduce carbon emissions by pumping fresh air from outside into the exhaust stream. By the time fumes leave the tailpipe, there are fewer hydrocarbon pollutants in them.
What happens when the air injection pump is not working?
But in situations when the secondary air injection pump is not working, you can expect the RPM to drop. This may cause the car to vibrate or even stall as noted above. If you’ve already experienced engine stalling, poor acceleration, and a check engine warning light, then you need to have the secondary air injection pump checked out immediately.
What are the components of an air injection pump?
The air injection system introduces oxygen into the exhaust engine at certain times to reduce emissions. Typical system components include the PCM, air injection relay, air injection hoses, valves and the pump. The air injection pump can be either belt driven or electric – for this article, we will focus on the belt-driven design.
