Ford Ka+ Fuel Pump: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

A quick priming-hum test and fuse check on the Ka+ can rule out a cheaper fault before assuming the pump has failed.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 580 454 094 / Astemo 2503198

Accuracy note: Covers the Ford Ka+ (2016-2019) 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 0 580 454 094 (in-tank fuel feed unit, no specification given); Astemo 2503198 (bare electric pump, petrol); Delphi FE10300-12B1 (bare pump, petrol, 120 mm, metal housing, without pressure sensor); Delphi FE10301-12B1 (bare pump, petrol, 120 mm, metal housing, without pressure sensor); Delphi FG2391-12B1 (complete fuel pump module, 288 x 135 x 115 mm, 1.05 kg, without pressure sensor); Pierburg 7.02700.69.0 (bare pump, 3 bar, 8 A, 171 mm long, 36.5 mm diameter, 1 connector); Hella 8TF 358 148-621 (pre-supply pump, 3.5 bar, 4.5 l/min, 2 pins, 12 V); Meat & Doria 76385 (bare pump, 3.5 bar / 90 l/h)
Types & variants	The Delphi FE10300 and FE10301 differ only in detail and both come without a pressure sensor.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	3111137300 (Meat & Doria 76385, Hoffer 7506385); 170429F500 (Meat & Doria 76416, Hoffer 7506416); 8450008680 (Kamoka 8410005); pump no. F7AU9350DB (ERA 775080A). The 3111137300 and 170429F500 numbers are Hyundai and Nissan references, so they are generic pump cross-references rather than Ford KA+ numbers.
Fitment notes	Petrol only in practice. A bare pump drops into the existing in-tank housing and keeps the original sender; the Delphi FG2391 module replaces housing, pump and sender together. Fit a new tank seal ring with either, as the Delphi pumps are supplied without gasket or sensor.

A Genuine Diagnostic Step Worth Trying First — Ford Ka+ Fuel Pump

Before assuming the Ford Ka+'s fuel pump itself has failed, it's worth trying a simple, genuinely useful check: with the ignition turned to "on" but the engine not yet started, you should hear a faint 2-3 second hum from the rear of the car as the pump primes the fuel system. If you hear nothing at all, check the fuel pump fuse first — commonly fuse F56 in the passenger cabin fuse box on many Ford models, though always confirm your specific car's fuse layout — before assuming the pump itself needs replacing. A blown fuse is a considerably cheaper fix, and it's a genuinely common cause that gets overlooked in favour of jumping straight to pump replacement.

General wear symptoms worth knowing: engine sputtering or hesitation under acceleration, a longer-than-usual crank before starting, a noticeable whining or buzzing noise from the rear of the car near the fuel tank, and stalling at low speeds or idle are the classic signs of a genuinely failing pump rather than a blown fuse or other simpler fault.

Ford Ka+ Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

This is one of the more inconveniently timed failures the Ford Ka+ can have — it tends to strand drivers mid-journey rather than politely failing while the car's parked on the drive. Recognising the early warning signs buys real time to sort it before you're stuck somewhere inconvenient.

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.

Ford Ka+ Fuel Pump: What It Does

Delivering fuel from the tank to the engine at the correct pressure for combustion is the Ford Ka+'s fuel pump's whole job. It lives inside the tank itself, submerged in fuel, which is exactly why replacing something this small is a more involved job than it looks.
