Common questions

Can a low battery cause low fuel pressure?

Can a low battery cause low fuel pressure?

The fuel pump can run slower if the battery is low. This causes low fuel pressure and a lean fuel condition. A low battery can prevent one or more injectors from opening, which can cause lean misfire and/or hard starting.

What kind of battery does a fire pump engine use?

The battery chargers for these are the continuous float (trickle) charge type that maintains the battery at or near full capacity. Fire pump diesel engines also have alternators, however, due to their infrequent running and then only for short durations, the battery charger is the primary means of maintaining the battery fully charged.

What happens if the battery on a fire pump goes bad?

Gas build-up can swell the casing, which may lead to ruptures and leakage of the fluid. Any spark associated with this build-up of gas will result in an explosion.

Can a bad fuel pump start a truck?
