In a diesel engine system, the fuel is carried to the engine via many components. In a Dodge Ram, the diesel fuel pump is one of the small yet powerful components in the fuel system. The main use of diesel fuel pump is to create a positive pressure and supplies fuel to the engine. From the fuel tank the fuel is pumped at high pressure to the fuel injection system. The fuel pump came into existence with the emergence of powerful engines and initially it was a mechanical pump and now with the advancement in the technology it has been replaced with electric pump.
The old mechanical fuel pump functioned with the help of a lobe fixed in the camshaft of the engine. It was either attached to the engine or to the frame rail located between the engine and the fuel tank. This mechanical pump was ale to generate pressure which was able to pump the fuel for the carburetor-run engines and not for the diesel engines. For the diesel engines which have direct fuel injection system electronically controlled diesel fuel pump was introduced. The Dodge Ram diesel pump which is electronically controlled is located inside the fuel tank and helps in creating positive pressure in the fuel lines.
There are many positive aspects of this fuel pump which is inside the fuel tank. The Electronic Control Unit which controls the fuel pump also ensures the personal safety of the passengers. First the electronically controlled fuel pump has a low risk of catching fire. The advanced diesel fuel pump has the ability to lock itself on supplying fuel even when the engine is working to prevent fuel leakage. The diesel fuel pump works with the help of cars battery and the fuel pump is starts when the ignition switch is on.
