OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Delphi FE0429-12B1 / Magneti Marelli 313011303157

Accuracy note: Covers the Honda CR-V (2012-2018) 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)	Delphi FE0429-12B1 (bare pump, petrol, 113 mm, 38 mm, without pressure sensor); Delphi FE0545-12B1 (bare pump, 112.6 mm, with seals); Delphi FE0735-12B1 (bare pump, 112.8 mm, 0.38 kg, without pressure sensor); Meat & Doria 77492 (bare pump, 3 bar); Meat & Doria 76385 (bare pump, 3.5 bar / 90 l/h); Meat & Doria 76416 (bare pump, 3 bar / 95 l/h); ERA 770161A (bare pump, 3 bar / 110 l/h, 2 connectors); ERA 770162A (bare pump, 3.2 bar / 120 l/h, 2 connectors)
Types & variants	Confirm petrol or diesel, and complete module or bare pump, against the old unit
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	17045SMGE01 (Meat & Doria 77492), a genuine Honda fuel module number from the Civic VIII family; 170429F500 (Meat & Doria 76416, Hoffer 7506416); 3111137300 (Meat & Doria 76385, Hoffer 7506385); 8450008680 (Kamoka 8410005).
Fitment notes	Petrol only. A bare pump is fitted into the existing module and keeps the original sender; check the pressure rating of the old pump (3 bar for the 2.0, higher on the 2.4) and the 38 mm body diameter. Diesel CR-Vs need a low-pressure lift module that is not listed here.

Confirmed: A Genuine, Serious UK Safety Recall Worth Checking Your VIN Against — Honda CR-V Fuel Pump

This is genuinely worth checking directly against your specific car: Honda issued an official UK safety recall (reference R/2020/186) covering CR-V models built 2019-2020, for a genuine fault where the fuel pump module was manufactured with low-density impellers. These impellers can absorb fuel moisture over time, causing them to swell, warp, and eventually disintegrate — disrupting fuel pressure and causing sudden, unexpected stalling at any speed, with no dashboard warning beforehand in many documented cases. The repair is carried out entirely free of charge under the recall.

A genuinely useful early warning sign worth listening for: a high-pitched whining or buzzing noise coming from underneath the rear seats has been documented as a warning sign of impending pump failure in some cases. If you notice this, it's genuinely worth getting the car checked promptly.

It's also worth knowing, particularly on hybrid variants, that there are genuinely two separate fuel pumps on GDI engines — a low-pressure pump inside the fuel tank, and a separate high-pressure pump on the engine itself. This recall covers the low-pressure, in-tank pump specifically.

Honda CR-V Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

Rather than failing conveniently while parked, this component on the Honda CR-V tends to give up mid-journey, which is about the worst possible moment. Learning to recognise the early symptoms is the best defence against being caught out.

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.

Honda CR-V Fuel Pump: What It Does

The Honda CR-V's fuel pump function — pulling fuel from the tank and pressurising it for the engine — is straightforward, but its usual location isn't: it sits submerged inside the tank itself, which is precisely why access for replacement is more work than the part's size suggests.
