The Land Rover is a high-end sports utility vehicle known for its sophisticated design and driving technology. An all-terrain vehicle, Land Rover drivers expect a high level of performance when driving their cars. However, like any type of car, Land Rovers can experience detrimental problems. One of these includes fuel pump failure.
The Fuel Pump
The fuel pump is a very important part of your Land Rover. Its function is to ensure that gasoline is moved from the fuel tank to the car’s engine.
Without a functioning fuel pump, your Land Rover won’t be able to operate properly. To avoid getting stranded on the road, it’s important to know the signs of a bad fuel pump and get your Land Rover checked out.
Symptoms Of A Failed Fuel Pump
There are a few notable warning signs of a failed fuel pump to remember while driving your Land Rover. If you notice any of these, it could not only indicate a bad fuel pump but other problems as well.
Many of these are common symptoms of a lot of car problems, but can also be related to a bad fuel pump. It’s important to take your car to a repair shop as soon as you notice any of these symptoms.
● Sputtering Engine: This is one of the most common symptoms of a failed fuel pump. If your engine sputters while driving at high speeds, it could be a sign of fuel pump problems. The way it usually happens is while driving your Land Rover, your engine begins to sputter and does this for around 10 miles. After that, it goes back to normal. While this could be a fuel-related problem, it could also indicate a bad fuel pump. Your pump could be worn out, causing it to be unable to deliver fuel at a constant pressure.
● Loss of Power: If you find yourself driving along and not being able to accelerate efficiently, it could be a fuel pump problem. When this happens, your car could also jerk or sputter even more. This is because of the fuel pump’s failure to deliver the correct pressure, causing the engine to receive an unbalanced mix of air and fuel.
● Surging: Surging is one of the most frightening and dangerous symptoms of fuel pump failure. This refers to when your car quickly accelerates even when you haven’t pressed the gas. This symptom is uncontrollable and can often result in an accident. Though it’s commonly held that this problem is because of the fuel filter, it is most likely caused by the fuel pump. This is due to the fuel pump not being able to get enough electricity to maintain pressure.
● Dead Engine: This is the most severe symptom of a failed fuel pump. If you’re unable to get your Land Rover to start and have ruled out any other problems, it could be due to the fuel pump. This symptom is usually the culmination of ignoring the rest of the symptoms of fuel pump failure. Avoiding a dead engine is just one of the reasons you should take your car to a specialist before problems with your fuel pump get any worse.
