Chevrolet Caprice Fuel Pump
Fuel Pump is an indispensable component which is involved in transferring fuel from the tank to the carburetor of the engine or fuel injectors in Chevrolet Caprice brand automobiles. A mechanical fuel pump, generally installed outside the tank, is used in carbureted models and it works at low pressure whereas fuel injected Caprice vehicles come equipped with electric pumps installed inside the tank capable of generating higher pressures for much efficiency. Through the years of it's production, the Chevrolet Caprice has had changes from mechanical to electric fuel pumps as a result of improvement in fuel injection. Conventional suction pumps mechanical type that can deliver pressures up to 15 psi have been slowly phased out because of lower efficiency of electric pumps that deliver pressures of 40-60 psi or more. Other merits of electrical pumps include enhanced cooling as well as safety measures from the electronic control units in the management of fuel.

Chevrolet Caprice Fuel Pump Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How does the fuel pump operate and what steps should be taken to test it for faults on Chevrolet Caprice?A: The fuel pump is a sealed type actuated from the engine camshaft, utilizing a pushrod between the camshaft and the pump rocker, while 231 V6 engines have pumps driven directly from the camshaft eccentric without a pushrod. Servicing is not possible due to the sealed nature of the unit, but if a fault is suspected, a test can be performed. First, ensure there is gas in the fuel tank and disconnect the primary wire between the coil and the distributor to prevent engine firing when the starter motor is engaged for models from 1969 to 1974; for models from 1975 to 1981, disconnect the distributor wiring marked 'BAT'. Next, disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor and place its open end in a container. Finally, operate the starter motor and observe for well-defined spurts of fuel ejected from the open end of the line; if present, the pump is functioning correctly, otherwise, it should be replaced.
