Fuel pump in the fuel system of your Chevrolet Tahoe plays a vital role in carrying diesel from the tank to the fuel injection system. Diesel fuel pump also stores fuel when it is not used in the combustion process. Fuel is pumped at high pressure and it is done by creating positive pressure in the fuel lines. In early days the fuel pump used in the diesel engine system was mechanical and it was not able to meet the growing demands and thus with the advancement in the technology, electrically controlled diesel fuel pump has been brought into use.
Unlike the mechanical fuel pump, fixed in the camshaft of the engine or to the frame rail between the engine and fuel tank, the new electronically controlled component is located inside the fuel tank. When you compare the pressure created by both the fuel pumps, the advanced Chevrolet Tahoe diesel fuel pump creates positive pressure in fuel lines to pump the fuel at high pressure. The newly introduced electronically controlled fuel pump has got many advantages over the mechanical pumps. First, it has low risk of catching fire when your vehicle meets with an accident. The flow of diesel from the tank is also controlled as the fuel pump locks itself to prevent the fuel leakage.
