We run an on-site fuel-pressure test so you only replace the pump if it's actually the cause."},{"q":"Can you replace a fuel pump at my location?","a":"In most cases, yes. Many vehicles have an accessible in-tank pump we can replace in your driveway. We'll confirm when we diagnose it; if your specific vehicle needs a lift, we'll tell you upfront."},{"q":"Is it safe to keep driving with a failing fuel pump?","a":"It's risky \u2014 a failing pump can stall the engine without warning, which is dangerous in traffic and usually ends in a tow. It's best to have it tested as soon as you notice sputtering or hard starts."},{"q":"Does keeping my tank fuller help the fuel pump?","a":"Yes. In-tank pumps are cooled and lubricated by the fuel around them, so regularly running near empty can shorten pump life \u2014 especially in hot weather. Keeping at least a quarter tank helps."},{"q":"Is the replacement warrantied?","a":"Yes \u2014 fuel pump replacements are covered by our 12-month \/ 12,000-mile warranty on parts and labor."}],"footnotes":""},"novo_service_kind":[2],"novo_service_category":[7],"class_list":["post-45","novo_service","type-novo_service","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo-services\/45","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo-services"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/novo_service"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo-services\/45\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":121,"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo-services\/45\/revisions\/121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"novo_service_kind","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo_service_kind?post=45"},{"taxonomy":"novo_service_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.novorepairs.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/novo_service_category?post=45"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
