OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Pierburg 7.21440.51.0 / Delphi FE0429-12B1

Accuracy note: Covers the Suzuki Swift (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)	Delphi FE0429-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, petrol, 113 x 38 mm, without pressure sensor); Delphi FE0545-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, 112.6 x 38 mm); 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 458F0005 (bare in-tank pump, 3.3 bar / 100 l/h, 38 mm body, 115 mm, 10 mm in / 9 mm out); Pierburg 7.21440.51.0 (low-pressure feed pump, 0.3-0.4 bar, 2-pin, 133.5 mm); Maxgear 43-0219 (feed unit with holder)
Types & variants	The 3-4 bar 38 mm cartridges are the main pump replacements; the Maxgear 43-0219 is the only unit sold complete with holder. The Pierburg 7.21440.51.0, ERA 770034A, Ridex 458F0008 and Energy G10080 inline pump are all low-pressure transfer pumps. No diesel is offered for this generation.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	3111137300 (Meat & Doria 76385, Hoffer 7506385); 8450008680 (Kamoka 8410005); 8941674933 (Meat & Doria 76041)
Fitment notes	Petrol only. A replacement cartridge is fitted into the original in-tank module and keeps the level sender; match the 38 mm body, outlet size and 2-pin connector to the original before ordering.

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

On the Suzuki Swift, few component failures are as inconveniently timed as this one — it has a habit of stranding drivers mid-journey rather than giving a clean warning while the car is safely parked. Knowing the early signs buys valuable time to get it sorted before that happens.

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 Swift Fuel Pump: What It Does

The Suzuki Swift's fuel pump draws fuel from the tank and delivers it to the engine at the pressure required for proper combustion. Almost all modern versions sit inside the fuel tank itself, submerged in fuel, which is partly why access for replacement is more involved than the part's small size might suggest.

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-2004, G-series petrol	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
2004–present, K-series/M-series petrol & Sport	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
1.3 DDiS diesel (Fiat-sourced Multijet)	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 — Suzuki Swift 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.
