OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 580 203 463 and Bosch 0 580 203 469 / Hüco 132764

Accuracy note: Covers the Fiat Tipo (2016-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. In-tank fuel pumps are sold two ways: as a complete feed unit (the pump in its swirl pot with the fuel-level sender and float) or as a bare pump that is fitted into the old housing, and petrol and diesel versions are not interchangeable — most diesels have only a low-pressure lift pump in the tank, with the high-pressure pump on the engine. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Check fuel type, the plug pin count and whether your car has one sender or two (saddle tanks on 4x4 and some larger cars) against your VIN before ordering.

Fuel pumps / feed units (aftermarket)	Bosch 0 580 203 463 and Bosch 0 580 203 469 (in-tank feed units); Hüco 132764 (petrol feed unit with sender); Delphi FE0492-12B1 and Delphi FE0469-12B1 (bare in-tank petrol pumps, metal, 134 mm long, no sender or pressure sensor); Meat & Doria 77788 (pump assembly, 3.8 bar); ERA 775006A (feed unit, 3 bar / 100 l/h, 2-pin, accessory 770023); Ridex 458F0141 (in-tank pump, 4 bar / 100 l/h, 2 connectors).
Types & variants	The two Bosch modules and the Hüco 132764 are the complete petrol feed units with sender for the 1.4 and 1.6 petrols; the Delphi, Ridex and ERA 770-series items are bare pump inserts. No diesel module is offered here for the 1.3 and 1.6 Multijet, and several listings (ERA 770034A at 0.2 bar, Energy G10080 and Esen SKV 02SKV004 in-line pre-supply pumps, Meat & Doria 76041 carburettor pump) are low-pressure or in-line pumps that do not belong to this car.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	Kamoka 8400002 = 46427664; Meat & Doria 76041 = 8941674933 (carburettor pump, not for the Tipo).
Fitment notes	The listings for this car are poorly filtered, so only the Bosch, Hüco and Delphi references should be trusted without further checking. Bare pump inserts fit into the existing housing and keep the old sender. Diesel owners should identify the module by the Fiat number on the old unit.

A Genuinely Important Habit Worth Building: Checking for Open Recalls — Fiat Tipo Fuel Pump

Fiat has issued multiple genuine, confirmed fuel delivery recalls across its small car range, including a chafing fuel pipe issue on certain Panda builds and separate recalls covering a faulty fuel pump protection bracket and faulty fuel manifolds on the 500. It's genuinely worth checking your specific VIN against Fiat's official recall database directly, particularly on a used car where you can't be certain a previous owner had any relevant recall work completed.

A genuinely important safety instruction worth knowing: if you ever notice a smell of fuel while driving, or spot damp patches underneath the car that could be fuel, it's genuinely worth stopping and having the car inspected before continuing.

It's also genuinely worth knowing a useful diagnostic distinction: a sudden whiff of fuel while driving is commonly caused by faulty fuel injector seals specifically, rather than the fuel pump itself.

Fiat Tipo Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Fiat Tipo, there's rarely a convenient time for this to fail — it tends to strike mid-journey rather than while the car's sitting safely on the drive. Knowing what the early symptoms look like buys valuable time to get ahead of it.

Before you buy: fuel pump specifications vary by engine size and fuel type, and petrol/diesel versions are never interchangeable. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Fiat Tipo Fuel Pump: What It Does

The job here is simple in principle — draw fuel from the tank, deliver it to the engine at the right pressure — but the Fiat Tipo's fuel pump sits submerged inside the tank, which makes physical access for replacement far more involved than the small part itself implies.

Accuracy note: these are documented patterns by generation and engine family, not a substitute for confirming your exact engine code — always verify against your V5C before ordering, since petrol and diesel pumps are never interchangeable.

Type 356 (2015–present), 1.4/1.6 petrol	Petrol: typically a single in-tank low-pressure pump; some later or higher-output variants may add a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump for direct injection — confirm your exact engine
Type 356, 1.3 Multijet diesel	Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump
