fuel pumps
Tank-to-engine transferrers
Fuel pumps are devices that transfer fuel from a tank to an engine.
In vehicles, the fuel pump draws gasoline or diesel from the tank and delivers it to the combustion system under pressure.
The mechanic said the fuel pump was failing.
Electric fuel pumps sit inside the tank in most modern cars; older vehicles used mechanical pumps mounted on the engine.
