According to the search results, the Ford Escape has one fuel pump. The fuel pump draws fuel from the fuel tank and pumps it into the combustion chamber of the engine. There are two types of fuel pumps: mechanical and electrical. Mechanical pumps are mounted alongside the fuel tank and supply fuel to the engine at a low pressure [[3]].

It is always recommended to consult the vehicle’s manual or contact a certified Ford dealership for accurate and up-to-date information.

What is the difference between primary and secondary fuel pumps?
The primary pump (drivers’ side) is an electric pump and the secondary pump is a Venturi pump. Both pump modules have a fuel tank float to gage the amount of fuel in the tank, They average out the reading from both fuel level sensors to determine how much fuel is in the tank.
Can both fuel pumps go bad at the same time?
Usually what goes wrong is the check valve in one pump will fail and cause both pumps to not operate properly. Many shops (including mine) only replace these in pairs because when you replace one it is stronger and causes the other to fail, sometimes rather quickly.
Where is the secondary fuel pump?
All vehicles with fuel injection have a primary fuel pump that’s typically located in the fuel tank. Modern vehicles with gasoline direct injection (GDI) also have a second pump, which is a high-pressure pump. This second fuel pump is near the fuel rail in the engine compartment.
What does the secondary fuel pump do?
Some vehicles have split or saddle tanks so 2 fuel pumps are used. One to pump fuel to the other sides tank for pumping up to engine. Not sure if you have split tanks, common on a lot of AWD vehicles.
Do dual tank Fords have 2 fuel pumps?
Trucks with two fuel tanks will be equipped with three fuel pumps – one low-pressure pump inside each fuel tank and one high-pressure pump located on the frame rail. The in-tank pump is used to pick up fuel from the tank and supply it to the frame rail pump at low pressure.
Are there 2 fuel pumps?
Multiple fuel pumps aren’t just for racing, some factory high performance cars utilize two or more fuel pumps. In fact, one Porsche model has four fuel pumps. Another more common application for dual fuel pumps in a factory vehicle is if the vehicle has two fuel tanks, as is common in some truck designs.
Is the fuel pump and fuel tank the same?
Modern vehicles with an internal combustion engine are equipped with an electric fuel pump. Most cars have an in-tank pump mounted within the fuel tank, although some have an inline pump located between the gas tank and the engine.
Do cars have more than 1 fuel pump?
Some vehicles even make use of multiple pumps. Older cars often were outfitted with mechanical fuel pumps, but most modern pumps run on electricity. Mechanical fuel pumps function continuously as long as the engine is also running, while electric fuel pumps require only 12-volt current to operate.
How often do you need to replace a secondary fuel filter?
every 40,000kms
For Secondary filters we recommend you replace the cartridge every 40,000kms, or every second time you change your factory filter, whichever comes first. The exception to the above rule would be if you encountered contaminated fuel, in which case you should change the filters early.
Why does my car have 2 fuel pumps?
Some cars use a low pressure pump to get the fuel from the gas tank to the engine. Then near the engine they use a high pressure pump to push it through the injectors. This allows them to use a lower pressure fuel line.
