Where is the electric fuel pump typically located?

The electric fuel pump is typically located inside the fuel tank. This placement serves several important functions. First, being submerged in fuel helps keep the pump cool and prevent it from overheating during operation. Additionally, it allows for a more consistent fuel delivery, as the pump can easily maintain the necessary fuel pressure as it draws from the tank. Furthermore, housing the pump within the fuel tank reduces the need for long fuel lines, which can decrease the chances of leakage and reduce the overall complexity of the fuel delivery system.

Other locations such as under the hood or near the engine could lead to overheating and inefficiencies in fuel delivery, making the internal position an optimal choice for vehicle design and performance.
