While these two fuel systems have parts with similar functions, components like their fuel pumps have differences when it comes to how they operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fuel needs to be delivered to the engine even before it&rsquo;s injected on both gas and diesel platforms. Many diesel vehicles use a lift pump (also known as a transfer pump) <strong>to move fuel from the storage tank to the rest of the fuel system at low pressure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Bosch diesel systems, even on early Duramax engines, use the natural vacuum produced by the high pressure pump to draw the fuel from the tank to the pump, but that tends to be problematic if there is an air leak between the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/fuel-tank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"fuel tank\">fuel tank<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/fuel-pump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"fuel pump\">fuel pump<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, some GM Duramax equipped trucks with dual tanks will have a transfer pump that simply moves fuel from the auxiliary tank to the main fuel tank when the fuel level drops below a certain level in the main fuel tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a Lift Pump?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An electric fuel lift pump is a low-pressure fuel supply pump that transfers fuel from the tank to the injection pump. Fuel pressure from the lift pump is further pressurized by the high-pressure injection pump or unit injectors, which typically increase pressure to thousands of psi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What is a LIFT PUMP??\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1kYqroK2Es4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As far back as 1970, some carbureted vehicles (like the Chevy Vega) used an electric lift pump rather than an engine mounted mechanically driven pump such as what almost all other vehicles had in those days. Likewise, some mid-80s carbureted Ford platforms had an electric in-tank pump feeding the carburetor as well. Some older Asian vehicles had simple frame mounted electric fuel pump that drew fuel from the tank and delivered it to the carburetor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to 1990, fuel-injected Ford vehicles used an in-tank transfer pump that fed a high pressure frame-mounted pump. That pump wasn&rsquo;t a positive displacement pump (think of that one as a very robust windshield washer type pump with a plastic impeller); if there were multiple tanks, there was a pump in each tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But beginning in 1990, the in-tank pump became the primary high pressure fuel pump, and if there were multiple fuel tanks on the vehicle, there was a pump in each tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does a Lift Pump Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a variety of different lift pump designs, each of which operates a little differently. On most late-model diesel vehicles, the lift pump (if the system has one) is a small electric motor-driven device mounted either in the fuel tank or on the fuel rail. An electronic control module typically controls the pump. The lift pump forces fuel through the fuel supply line to the fuel filter and then to the high-pressure injection pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lift Pump Vs.

This is true on most modern diesel engines as well as on gasoline direct injection platforms. On GDI platforms, the lift pump is capable of over 100 psi but is usually (not always) regulated via a fuel pump control module that interfaces with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/engine-control-module\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"ECM\/PCM\">ECM\/PCM<\/a>. Hondas with GDI typically have a fuel pump in the tank with an integral mechanical regulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, on some GDI vehicles, the lift pump will run for a few seconds as soon as the driver&rsquo;s door is opened to make sure the fuel system is primed for a quick start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With diesel applications, the low-pressure fuel pump is typically referred to as a lift pump or transfer pump to differentiate it from the high-pressure injection pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lift pump is considered a low-pressure, high-volume pump. On the other hand, a high-pressure injection pump is considered a low-volume pump. The latter is needed to increase the pressure of diesel fuel to the level needed for injection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Lift Pumps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like fuel pumps, lift pumps can either be mechanical or electric.
