Mitsubishi Mirage Fuel Pump: OEM Part Number

Accuracy note: genuinely worth knowing: aftermarket fuel pumps for the Mirage vary noticeably in reported reliability compared with genuine or OE-matched parts, based on owner discussions — for a part that's expensive and time-consuming to replace twice, it's often worth paying more for a known-reliable brand the first time.

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.

Mitsubishi Mirage Fuel Pump: Generations & Engines: Fuel Pump Type

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.
