Fuel system is a network of parts connected with pumps and fuel lines. In the fuel system the fuel injector plays a vital role of carrying the fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel injection system. In Ford Pick Up Truck diesel, the fuel is carried from the fuel tank to the engine through the fuel pump as it stores the fuel from the fuel tank until it is used for the combustion. Depending on the type of the engine, either petrol or diesel, the fuel is pumped either at a high pressure or at low pressure to the fuel injection system. Before the introduction of electric pumps, the first fuel injector was mechanical and it was prone to damage easily. It was easy to detect a problem with the fuel system as it was mainly caused by fuel pumps. Both mechanical as well as electric pumps has to function properly for the engine to give the best performance.
The mechanical fuel injector was used in engines which used a carburetor. The mechanical fuel injecor 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 which is located in between the engine and the fuel tank. Ford Pick Up Truck diesel fuel injector is located inside the fuel tank and it creates positive pressure in the fuel lines to pump the fuel from the tank to the fuel injection system.
The advantage of using a electronically controlled fuel system is that it has got more safety options.
