OEM Part Number: not applicable — no fuel system on this model

Accuracy note: The Zoe is battery-electric and has no fuel tank, pump or fuel lines. Aftermarket catalogues still list generic Renault fuel pumps against it; none of them is a fitment, so do not order one.

Fuel pump	None fitted — the Zoe is fully electric
Fuel system	None; the car charges from the mains and drives on its traction battery
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	Not applicable
Fitment notes	Starting or power faults on a Zoe point to the 12 V battery, the traction battery or the drive electronics, never a fuel pump.

Confirmed: The Zoe Has No Fuel Pump At All — Renault Zoe Fuel Pump

This is worth knowing clearly: as a fully electric vehicle, the Zoe burns no fuel and has no fuel pump, fuel tank, or fuel injection system of any kind — this entire category of maintenance simply doesn't apply. If you've been quoted for fuel pump or fuel system work on a Zoe, this is worth querying directly, since it would be a genuine error.

What actually delivers energy to the motor instead: the Zoe's high-voltage battery supplies power directly to the electric motor through the inverter, with no pump, fuel line, or injector involved at any point — a fundamentally different, considerably simpler system with no equivalent to the fuel pump failure modes that affect combustion-engined cars.

Renault Zoe Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

Rather than failing conveniently while parked, this component on the Renault Zoe 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.

Renault Zoe Fuel Pump: What It Does

The Renault Zoe'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.
