OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Pierburg 7.02701.28.0 / Delphi FE0429-12B1

Accuracy note: Covers the Suzuki Ignis (2017-) 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 7.02701.28.0 (bare in-tank pump, 3.5 bar, 12 V 7 A, 38 mm body, 123 mm long, mounting kit included, without fuel sender); Delphi FE0429-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, petrol, 113 x 38 mm, without pressure sensor); Meat & Doria 76416 (bare in-tank pump, 3 bar / 95 l/h, OE 170429F500); Meat & Doria 76385 (bare in-tank pump, 3.5 bar / 90 l/h, OE 3111137300); ERA 770046A (bare in-tank pump, 3 bar, 2-pin, 50.5 mm body); Ridex 458F0040 (bare in-tank pump, 3.4 bar / 100 l/h, 2-pin, with mounting kit); Pierburg 7.21440.51.0 (low-pressure feed pump, 0.3-0.4 bar, 2-pin)
Types & variants	The Pierburg 7.02701.28.0 is the clearest match, a 3.5 bar 38 mm in-tank cartridge sold without sender. The other 3-4 bar cartridges are equivalents; the sub-0.5 bar Pierburg, ERA 770034A and Ridex 458F0008 are transfer pumps, and the Magneti Marelli 313011300018 (4 bar / 180 l/h) is listed as a diesel pump that does not belong on this petrol-only car.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	170429F500 (Meat & Doria 76416, Hoffer 7506416); 3111137300 (Meat & Doria 76385, Hoffer 7506385); 8450008680 (Kamoka 8410005); 8941674933 (Meat & Doria 76041)
Fitment notes	Petrol only. All cartridges fit into the existing tank module and keep the original level sender, so the fuel gauge is unaffected; a cartridge with its mounting kit is the simplest swap.

Suzuki Ignis Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

Rather than failing conveniently while parked, this component on the Suzuki Ignis 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.

Suzuki Ignis Fuel Pump: What It Does

The Suzuki Ignis'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.

2016–present, 1.2 K12C petrol (Dualjet), incl. mild-hybrid	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 — the hybrid system doesn't change this; the combustion engine still needs its own fuel pump

A Genuinely Important Habit Worth Building: Checking for Open Recalls — Suzuki Ignis Fuel Pump

Suzuki has issued multiple genuine, confirmed fuel pump recalls across its range, including a fuel pump material defect on certain models that can cause the engine to stall, and a separate, large-scale recall covering nearly 467,000 SX4 and Vitara vehicles worldwide for a fuel vapour leak issue. It's genuinely worth checking your specific VIN against Suzuki's official recall register directly, particularly on a used car where you can't be certain a previous owner had any relevant recall work completed.

Worth knowing this recall history reflects a genuine, cross-model design consideration: Suzuki has faced more than one fuel pump-related recall across different models and model years, worth being aware of as a pattern worth checking for regardless of which specific Suzuki you own.

Any work carried out under a confirmed manufacturer recall should be completely free of charge regardless of the car's age or ownership history — worth knowing this if a dealer ever suggests otherwise.
