OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 580 454 094 / Pierburg 7.28303.70.0

Accuracy note: Covers the Mitsubishi Mirage (2012-) 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 (bare in-tank pump); Pierburg 7.28303.70.0 (in-tank module, 0.5 bar, 2-pin, without sender, 12 V 5 A, 43.5 mm diameter, 134.6 mm); Pierburg 7.21440.51.0 (low-pressure in-tank pump, 0.3-0.4 bar, 2-pin, 12 V 2 A); Delphi FE0545-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, 112.6 mm, supplied with seals); Meat & Doria 76385 (bare pump, 3.5 bar / 90 l/h); Meat & Doria 76416 (bare pump, 3 bar / 95 l/h); ERA 770048A (bare pump, 3 bar / 90 l/h, 2-pin); Ridex 458F13718 (bare in-tank pump, petrol, 3.8 bar, 185 mm).
Types & variants	The Mirage is petrol only (1.0 and 1.2 three-cylinder, plus LPG versions), so the useful parts are the 3-3.8 bar bare in-tank pumps that drop into the original hanger. No complete feed unit with level sender is offered. The 0.3-0.5 bar Pierburg units are low-pressure parts that do not suit this car.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	Meat & Doria 76385 is quoted against 3111137300; Meat & Doria 76416 against 170429F500; Kamoka 8410016 against 142504; Kamoka 8410005 against 8450008680.
Fitment notes	A bare 38 mm pump is fitted into the existing tank module, keeping the original sender, filter sock and swirl pot; check the inlet and outlet sizes (8 and 10 mm on most of these) against the old pump before ordering.

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

Rather than failing conveniently while parked, this component on the Mitsubishi Mirage 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.

Mitsubishi Mirage Fuel Pump: What It Does

The Mitsubishi Mirage'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.

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.

Pre-2012 (badged Colt in some markets)	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
2012–present, 1.2 three-cylinder (3A92)	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

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

Mitsubishi has issued confirmed fuel pump recalls on related models, including a manufacturing defect where poor internal fusing could cause abnormal wear and the engine to stall while driving. It's genuinely worth checking your specific VIN against the official UK recall database directly, particularly on a used car where you can't be certain a previous owner had every relevant recall completed.

A genuinely useful diagnostic point worth knowing: documented symptoms of a developing fuel pump fault 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.

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 and engine before sourcing a replacement part independently.

These are the same regardless of make or model — see our full Fuel Pump Guide for symptoms to watch for (including the low-pressure vs high-pressure distinction on direct-injection engines), confirming fitment against your VIN, and OE suppliers worth knowing.
