What kind of fuel pump does a C280 have?
A properly functioning fuel pump does this with precise pressures to make sure that the engine is receiving the proper amount of fuel based on throttle input. The fuel pump in the C280 delivers fuel to a naturally aspirated 2.8 L V-6 engine. This engine is the mid-level engine offered in Mercedes C-Class models of this vintage.
What kind of fuel pump does a Mercedes Benz use?
Under normal operation conditions, the fuel pump provides a constant flow of fuel. A failing fuel pump typically delivers too little fuel from the gas tank or in certain cases too much. Mercedes-Benz cars use an electrical fuel pump to pump the fuel to the fuel injectors.
Where is the fuel pump in a car?
The pump is directly next to the fuel filter under the chassis of the car behind the passenger side, rear wheel well. You can open a black plastic door in the wheel well using an 8-mm socket wrench which allows access to the pump for removal.
What should my fuel pressure reading be on my Mercedes?
Set you digital multimeter to 20-volt setting and connect it to the two main (black and red) lines going into the fuel pump. Turn the key to position II and look at the reading. You should get around 11-13 volt reading. Note that when you turn on the ignition, the fuel pump gets voltage for about 5 seconds to prime the system.
