Fuel Pumps

On older engines, the fuel pump was mounted on the engine itself and driven by the camshaft. Today's vehicles are fuel-injected and require a more pressurized fuel supply than a mechanical fuel pump can deliver - as a result, they use an electric fuel pump or fuel module mounted in the gas tank itself. Shop our selection of fuel pumps from brands like Carquest and Delphi.

If your vehicle has a failed fuel pump, you're going to be shut down cold as no fuel can make its way to the engine from the fuel tank. A failed fuel pump on a modern vehicle usually means dropping the gas tank, since the pump is mounted inside the tank itself. That's a repair best left to an experienced do-it-yourselfer or a professional. Note that it's a good idea to not let your fuel tank get below the 1/4 mark; gasoline serves as a lubricant to help keep the pump running properly.
