Mitsubishi L200 Fuel Pump: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

A genuinely important habit worth building: the L200 has been subject to numerous confirmed UK recall actions over its production history — worth checking your specific VIN directly.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Pierburg 7.21440.51.0 / Delphi FE0449-12B1

Accuracy note: Covers the Mitsubishi L200 (2015-) 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)	Pierburg 7.21440.51.0 (low-pressure in-tank lift pump, 0.3-0.4 bar, 2-pin, 12 V 2 A, 133.5 mm); Delphi FE0449-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, petrol, metal housing, 116 mm, no pressure sensor); Delphi FE0735-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, 112.8 mm, no pressure sensor); Delphi FE0545-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, 112.6 mm); 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-pin); ERA 770034A (lift pump, 0.2 bar / 70 l/h, 2-pin).
Types & variants	Everything listed is either a bare high-pressure petrol-type pump (3-3.8 bar) or a low-pressure lift pump (0.15-0.4 bar). UK L200s of this generation are almost all 2.4 DI-D diesels, which use only an in-tank lift pump feeding the engine-driven high-pressure pump, so the 0.2-0.4 bar units are the relevant ones; the 3 bar and higher pumps apply to the 2.4 petrol sold in other markets.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	Meat & Doria 76385 is quoted against 3111137300; Meat & Doria 76416 against 170429F500; Kamoka 8410005 against 8450008680.
Fitment notes	No complete sender module is offered, so the original tank unit and level sender are retained and only the pump cartridge is swapped; the diesel lift pump is a low-pressure part and a petrol-rated pump is not a substitute.

Mitsubishi L200 Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

This is one of the more inconveniently timed failures the Mitsubishi L200 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.

Mitsubishi L200 Fuel Pump: What It Does

Delivering fuel from the tank to the engine at the correct pressure for combustion is the Mitsubishi L200'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.

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.

2005–2015, 2.5 4D56 diesel	Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump
2015–present, 2.4 DI-D diesel (4N15)	Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump

A Genuinely Important Habit Worth Building: Checking for Open Recalls — Mitsubishi L200 Fuel Pump

This is genuinely worth doing directly: the L200 has been subject to numerous confirmed UK recall actions over its production history, spanning a range of different systems and components. It's genuinely worth checking your specific VIN against the official UK recall database, particularly on a used pickup where you can't be certain a previous owner had every relevant recall action completed, since recall work should always be carried out free of charge regardless of the vehicle's age or ownership history.

A genuinely useful diagnostic point worth knowing about developing fuel pump faults generally: documented symptoms include a whining noise from the direction of the fuel tank, engine hesitation under load, and eventually stalling or a crank-no-start condition — worth having any of these symptoms checked promptly given the genuine safety implications of a pump failing unexpectedly while driving.

It's also genuinely worth knowing that fuel pumps aren't necessarily interchangeable across different generations and engine variants of the same model — worth confirming your exact model year, engine, and drivetrain configuration before sourcing a replacement part independently.
