Fuel pumps can experience flow and measurement variations in high-altitude locations due to lower atmospheric pressure. Pumps are designed with pressure compensation features to maintain consistent flow and accuracy.
Sealed nozzles, calibrated meters, and automatic shut-off systems ensure that fueling remains safe and precise regardless of altitude. Stations in mountainous areas may require additional adjustments to maintain optimal pump performance.
By accounting for pressure changes, pumps maintain operational reliability and prevent issues like inaccurate dispensing or premature shut-off.
