Why You Need to Get a Faulty Fuel Pump Fixed

If your car shakes while driving on the highway in Cedar Rapids, IA, it could be because the fuel pump isn't working properly. A faulty fuel pump could also be why your vehicle can't get up hills efficiently or isn't getting good gas mileage.

Ideally, you will take your vehicle to get service at Cassill Motors if you notice these or other problems while driving. This is because a lack of control over your car could increase your chances of getting into an accident. Decreased gas mileage could be a sign that excess gasoline is being pumped from the tank to the engine.

Letting that go unchecked could result in the engine being flooded, which can cause significant damage. Other signs of a possible fuel pump problem include the vehicle not starting or the engine overheating. In normal conditions, the temperature needle should be between the hot and cold icons.
