Atex Feed Pump for Toyota Shark 5L/3L

The TEX feed pump in Toyota Shark 5L and 3L vans is a manual mechanical hand pump designed to facilitate the transfer of diesel fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel filter. It serves as a backup or auxiliary fuel delivery system, particularly useful in situations where the primary fuel pump may fail or when priming the fuel system after maintenance.

Key features of the TEX feed pump in these vans include:

Manual Operation: The TEX feed pump is operated manually by hand, typically through a lever or plunger mechanism. This allows the driver or mechanic to manually pump fuel when needed, providing a reliable means of fuel transfer.

Simple Design: The pump is designed with simplicity in mind, featuring rugged construction and few moving parts to ensure durability and ease of maintenance.

Fuel Compatibility: The TEX feed pump is specifically designed for diesel fuel, making it suitable for use with the diesel engines found in Toyota Shark 5L and 3L vans.

Integration with Fuel System: The pump is connected to the fuel tank outlet and the inlet of the fuel filter, allowing it to draw fuel from the tank and deliver it to the filter for further filtration before reaching the engine.

Emergency Use: While the primary fuel system is typically powered by an electric fuel pump, the TEX feed pump serves as a backup option in case of electrical or mechanical failures, ensuring continuous fuel supply to the engine.

Overall, the TEX feed pump in Toyota Shark 5L and 3L vans provides a reliable means of manually transferring diesel fuel, offering peace of mind to drivers and mechanics in situations where conventional fuel delivery systems may encounter issues. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended to ensure proper functionality and to address any potential issues promptly.
