Fuel Pump Push Rod
An engine fuel pump push rod is a component that transfers motion from the engine's camshaft to the mechanical fuel pump in order to deliver fuel to the engine. It is typically a small rod made of metal or other durable materials, and it is located inside the engine block. The fuel pump push rod is responsible for activating the fuel pump's diaphragm or plunger by contacting either a lever or arm, which creates a vacuum and draws fuel from the gas tank to the engine. As the engine's camshaft rotates, it pushes the fuel pump push rod up and down, creating the necessary motion to operate the fuel pump. The fuel pump push rod is essential for the proper functioning of the vehicle's fuel system, and any damage or malfunction can lead to poor fuel delivery and reduced engine performance.
