Fuel Pump Eccentric
An automotive fuel pump eccentric is a component that is installed on the camshaft of an engine and is responsible for driving the mechanical fuel pump. The fuel pump eccentric is typically a small, round disc that is mounted on the camshaft, and is designed to move the fuel pump arm in a reciprocating motion as the engine rotates. The fuel pump arm is connected to the fuel pump diaphragm, which draws fuel from the fuel tank and pumps it to the carburetor. The fuel pump eccentric is usually made of hardened steel or cast iron to withstand the stresses of engine operation and is designed to be durable and long-lasting. Over time, the fuel pump eccentric may become worn or damaged due to normal wear and tear, causing the fuel pump to operate improperly or fail altogether.
