PULSATING-DIAPHRAGM FUEL PUMP
Pulsating-diaphragm fuel pumps, or pulse pumps, rely
on changes in crankcase vacuum to create a pulsating
movement of the pump diaphragm. As the engine's
pistons move outward, a vacuum is created. This
vacuum is transmitted
to the pump diaphragm, causing
it
to pull back and suck fuel into the pump. As the
engine's pistons move inward, crankcase vacuum is
reduced and the diaphragm return spring pushes the
pump diaphragm forward, forcing fuel through the
pump outlet.
