Which component continuously draws fuel from the tank as the engine rotates?

• A. Metering Valve
• B. Bypass Valve
• C. Shut-off Valve
• D. Fuel Pump

Answer: (D)

Fuel is drawn from the tank by the fuel pump, which is typically driven by the engine. As the engine turns, the pump creates suction and pressure that pull fuel from the tank and push it toward the metering device and then the engine. This continuous pumping is what keeps a steady fuel supply available, even as engine demands change. The metering valve controls how much fuel actually reaches the engine, not how much is drawn from the tank. The bypass valve redirects or relieves excess fuel, and the shut-off valve would stop fuel flow entirely. So the component that continuously draws fuel from the tank as the engine rotates is the fuel pump.
