What happens when fuel pressure is too high?
High fuel pressure results in a rich air-fuel ratio because the increase in pressure forces more fuel through the injectors than required. It also causes black exhaust and high emissions (HC’s). These excessive hydrocarbons overheat and damage the catalytic converter.
How much pressure should a fuel pump have?
Electric fuel pumps are normally used to supply the higher pressure demanded by the system. The required pressure can be as high as 66 psi with port injection. The pressure on the throttle body injection systems is between 9 and 18 psi.
Does a fuel return line have pressure?
A free flowing return line maintains consistent pressure in the system. Ending the return above the fuel level in the tank, or in the filler neck will cause aeration. This can lead to fuel starvation and pump wear.
What will happen if fuel return line is blocked?
If the fuel return hose becomes blocked or kinked it may cause the carburetor to flood from excessive fuel or pressure buildup. A flooded carburetor may cause engine stalling and hard starting until it is cleared, or enough fuel has evaporated.
Is a return fuel line necessary?
You don’t really “need” a return; but the car will work better if it has one, on the street. The fuel pump pressurizes fuel to send it to the carb. If the engine isn’t using much fuel (sitting still idling for example) the fuel in the line will be mostly just sitting there, getting hot.
