UNit 10 The Fuel System

1. Read and translate the text:

The fuel system of an automobile has four parts: a fuel tank, a fuel pump, rubber pipes, or hoses, and a carburetor. The carburetor mixes the gasoline with the air. The fuel pump, whose action is very much like that of a toy water gun, pumps fuel from the tank to the carburetor. The accelerator controls the amount of gasoline used by the carburetor. The driver controls this action with the gas pedal. When you accelerate or step on the gas, you allow more gasoline-air mixture to enter the engine. This in turn makes the car run faster.
