Fuel Pump - Suzuki DL650K5 Service Manual

FUEL PUMP

The electric fuel pump is mounted at the bottom of the fuel tank, which consists of the armature, magnet,
impeller, brush, check valve and relief valve. The ECM controls its ON/OFF operation as controlled under
the FUEL PUMP CONTROL SYSTEM.
When electrical energy is supplied to the fuel pump, the motor in the pump runs and together with the impel-
ler. This causes a pressure difference to occur on both sides of the impeller as there are many grooves
around it. Then the fuel is drawn through the inlet port, and with its pressure increased, it is discharged
through the outlet port. The fuel pump has a check valve to keep some pressure in the fuel feed hose even
when the fuel pump is stopped. Also, the relief valve is equipped in the fuel pump, which releases pressur-
ized fuel to the fuel tank when the outlet of the fuel pressure has increased up to 450 – 600 kPa (4.5 – 6.0
kgf/cm , 64 – 85 psi).
