Troubleshooting

Pump not delivering fuel

Check electrical connections for secure fit and correct polarity. Ensure the pump is mounted correctly (below tank outlet, within 1m). Verify the pre-filter is not clogged. Check for kinks or blockages in the fuel line.

Intermittent fuel delivery

Inspect fuel tank for debris that might be drawn into the pump. Ensure the fuel line is not collapsing under vacuum. Check for air leaks in the fuel system before the pump.

Low fuel pressure

Confirm pump is correctly rated for the engine's requirements. Ensure the pre-filter is clean and not restricting flow. Verify mounting location meets recommended guidelines for optimal head pressure.

Noise from the pump

Ensure the pump is securely mounted to reduce vibration. Check if the fuel tank is sufficiently full, as pumps can be noisy when running low on fuel. Air in the fuel line can also cause noise.
