Abstract

The fuel system of a vehicle is a very important compotent, as it provides the firing resources to the combustion chamber of the engine. However, improper operation of the system can generate bad condition or start-off during engine revolution. This study analyzed several examples of failure that had originated in the field. In the first example, the driver operated a vehicle containing both gasoline and LPG in the fuel tank, but the gasoline fuel remained unused for a few months. Therefore the fuel pump was clogged because of gasoline congelation. The second example, dealt with fuel leakage that occurred from the slightly torn O-ring connecting the fuel lines. The third example, pertained to engine damage and power-down owing to the usage of proor-quality fuel and ingredient. Therefore, it is necessary to take adequate measures to prevent the failure of the fuel system of vehicle.
