Can changing a fuel filter cause the fuel pump to break?
Q. I know it sounds stupid to me too, but I heard somewhere that if your fuel filter is changed it can break the pump because the pump is used to working with a clogged fuel filter. Is this true? I just don't want to be worried that I could be messing up the fuel pump.

A. No,changing and in line fuel filter will not cause the pump to "break", Its designed as a maintenence item that can be changed at certain intervals. If the fuel pump goes out,it wont be because of changing the filter.

How much fuel is consumed by airplanes than to cars?
Q. Does anyone know the ratio of airplane fuel consumption to ground fuel consumption? Also, what the *** is wrong with people these days isn't there a way to get better fuel mileage than 6-7 gallons per mile on an airplane, when you're traveling thousands of miles at a time?
Asked by V H - Sun Jul 20 11:33:18 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. According to British Airways, a 747-400 plane cruises at 576 mph (927km/h), burns 3378 US gallons (12,788 liters) of fuel per hour, and carries 409 passengers when full: If the plane is 75% full, one passenger is carried 52.2 miles for each US gallon of fuel burned (22.2 km for each liter of fuel burned).This fuel efficiency exceeds that of almost all cars, when the driver is traveling alone. So, to answer your question, it is actually MORE fuel efficient to travel large distances in a place (Provided it is at least 75% full) than it is to drive the same distance. Depending on distance, it may also be cheaper. You see, you have to factor in the number of passengers that can fit in a plane and determine passenger miles per gallon.

How can I test a fuel pressure regulator if the car does not start?
Q. I took the car to a mechanic yesterday who said the fuel pump was bad. I'm assuming he said this because there wasn't enough fuel pressure. I am still having the same stalling issues. I have read the fuel pressure regulator can cause this. I have personally replaced alot of other parts to rule out electrical problem. Any advise on how to test the fuel pressure reg will be appreciated. thanks.

A. first thing is fuel injection or carburetor? assuming is FI you have to cut the outlet fuel hose and place a fuel pressure gauge there if it is higher than 20psi then is bad your regulator but... it can be different psi depend on the engine and brand of the car buy the repair manual of your car it should say what is the correct psi at the inlet and the outside fuel line is very weird in FI system get a broken fuel regulator (unless you have work on it) they are mechanical and cant be adjusted so... they will work ever at the same pressure if your car dont start is still an electrical issue

Is there any change in the naming convenetions of the Fuel Tanks in different Models? For Ex. Tank 1, Tank 2, Tank 3, Center Aux Tank, Tail Tank ... etc. The details am interested in are... Can I have uniform fuel loading computation that can be used irrespective of the models. For Ex. First, Load Fuel equally into Tank1, Tank 2, Tank 3 till Tank 1 & Tank3 is filled to max capacity.

How do I check to see if my fuel injectors are getting fire?
Q. The car is an 89 chevrolet cavalier 2.8 multi-port fuel injection system. It has a new fuel pump, new coil module, and is not getting fuel to run. Fuel pump pressure is good, when car sets for awhile it will try to crank. The car has went from running great to stalling while running down the road. The problem has gotten worse to the point where if it sets overnight, pressure seems to be getting enough vapor to allow the car to fire one time. Using started fluid or dumping fuel directly into the throttle control will make the car try to crank, but as soon as it runs out, it refuses to crank. So I've come to the conclusion that it's a fuel injector problem. I just need to know how to check and see if they're getting fire. Any other… [cont.]

A. To me, it sounds like your crank signal is going away. If the vehicles computer looses crank signal the first thing to go is fuel delivery. In this case fuel injectors. The crank sensor is located in the back of the block and can be checked with a DVOM, scan Tool or by sombody who knows what their doing. That would be me. A lot of times the crank sensors fail when they get hot and cause intermittant stall/no-start. Then it's just a matter of time before it wont start at all.

How much fuel would you save driving on two half tanks of fuel rather than one full tank?
Q. We all know that more weight requires more energy to move it. If a car has more fuel in it, it has more weight, hence more energy,hence more fuel required to move it. Ignoring all other factors such as more trips to the fuel pump and driving conditions etc, how much fuel would you save by using to half tanks of fuel opposed to one full tank? Lets assume a 50 litre tank and a car that goes to 35mpg (imperial gallon)

A. My personal opinion is it would use more gasoline but on a normal running system, you really wouldn't see the increase per say (as injectors are measured in flow plus how long they stay open).. it would cause the engine to run richer (and try to lean itself out to the point it will set a check engine light on a marginal system) but would it bring economy or power? nope unless you install other gear to help the fuel injectors do it's job as optimized.

A. I would say you need a pump with a higher fuel volume not pressure. You can run 10 PSI but 1 GL per min and 10 PSI 10 GL per min. That is just an example to demonstrate the concept in numbers (no real systems numbers). Do not let the PSIs fool you. You need on my understanding more fuel Volume, no Pressure. There is also a return line back to the tank. If you have nothing to restrict the flow, you will not be able to sustain any volume / pressure. Is like a hemorrhage of fuel back to the tank. The fuel system is like any Hydraulic system or Electric... It will flow through the path of lowest resistance. OMHO I would kept it Fuel Injected, less headaches and tunes better. :-)

However, here are the steps to fallow, It is better to do it with an empty tank... - Unhook the battery - Open the gas tank cap. - Release the fuel pressure from the fuel pressure rail (There is a valve that looks like a tire valve) - Lift and jack the vehicle up. - Take the wheel off - Put a jack under the tank just to hold this one up. - Take the two bolts holding the two metal straps. - Slowly lower the tank half way. - Unplug the harness - Unhook the fuel line and the air line. - Completely lower the tank. - … [cont.]

How do you change a fuel filter on a 1997 Honda Accord?
Q. I have a four-cylinder Honda Accord that needs a new fuel filter. I have the fuel filter, and have been told that it's fairly easy, but I can't find the fuel line under the car. Does anyone know of a website to show me how, or can someone walk me through? Thanks!

What were the main sources of fuel before the discovery and use of fossil fuels?
Q. What are their historical origins? What was the development of man's ability to harness the pre-fossil fuel sources of energy? How did the amount of energy harnessed from these sources compare to what we use today for fuel?

A. Don't forget whale oil, 18 century whaling, and their near extinction.

What fuel-efficient cars with a hitch could carry a wheelchair and lift?
Q. I need to find a fuel-efficient car/crossover suv that can handle a #2 hitch; back-end attached lift and small powerchair, is this possible?
Asked by Jameob - Tue Apr 29 16:44:37 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I work for M.C. Mobility Systems, Inc. ( ) and Ability Van Rentals ( ) and we recommend that customers who are concerned about fuel efficiency go with a Honda or a Toyota. Unfortunately, the additional weight of a wheelchair lift or conversion package will effect the fuel efficiency, but these two makes are probably the best solutions. Hope this helps!

What is airplane fuel made of and can I use it in my car, or more specifically, my vespa scooter?
Q. My friend bought airplane fuel for his Vespa scooter. I heard that airplane fuel is leaded to increase the octane rating, but wouldn't that clog the engine and particularly the catalytic converter? Is there a way around this? He has heard of it done before, and that it increases accelteration and high end.

A. Ron is correct, the ONLY reason for higher octane numbers is to prevent detonation in very high compression engines. The higher the octane number the SLOWER the fuel burns, so if you ran 100 octane in an engine that only required 87 you would not only be wasting money but the tops of your pistons and valves and valve seats would have a thick layer of black gunk on them due to the unburnt fuel blowing out of your exhaust. Remember folks, octane does not make power!! Please do a little research on this before you keep wasting your money putting mid or high grade gas in your Honda Accord, there are NO extra additives, cleaners, detergents or miracles in mid or high grade gas over plain old regular unleaded, they all have exactly the same… [cont.]
