Spectra Premium has unveiled new fuel pump assembly packaging, which the company says features more rigid internal protection and offers up to 32 percent in shelf space savings.

Packaging will include an inflated bubble insert with vertical air chambers for added protection and an opening flap for ease of access to the part. The float arm has been removed to prevent damage during transport and trilingual work instructions have been included to ensure ease of installation, Spectra Premium says.

This new packaging is applicable to all high-volume models. Additional products will be migrated into the new packaging style as a running change, the company adds.

Belts and Pulley Alignment

A misalignment of the plane of the belt can occur when a pulley is not parallel to the other pulleys on the belt drive system.

Drive Belt Alignment Alignment is key to the health of an engine belt. The belt drive system is designed to create friction between the grooves on the belt and pulley to transfer power from the crankshaft to the alternator, water pump or power steering pump. If the grooves on the belt do not align with the pulleys, the friction won’t be evenly applied and can result in wear and noise.
