OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Delphi FE0735-12B1 / Magneti Marelli 313011300038

Accuracy note: Covers the Toyota RAV4 (XA40 2013-2018) 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 FE0735-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, 112.8 x 38 mm, no pressure sensor); Delphi FE0545-12B1 (bare in-tank pump, 112.6 x 38 mm); Magneti Marelli 313011300038 (bare in-tank pump, 3 bar / 90 l/h, 12 V); Magneti Marelli 313011300097 (bare in-tank pump, 3 bar / 100 l/h, 12 V); Meat & Doria 77788 (supply module, 3.8 bar, OE 16117297778); ERA 770162A (bare in-tank pump, 3.2 bar / 120 l/h, 2-pin, 38 mm body); Ackoja A52-09-0007 (in-tank feed unit, 3 bar, 2-pin)
Types & variants	Bare 3-3.8 bar cartridges for the petrol and hybrid, with the Ackoja A52-09-0002, A52-09-0007 and A70-09-0004 sold as in-tank units with mounting material. No complete module with level sender and no diesel lift pump are listed for the D-4D engines.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	170429F500 (Meat & Doria 76416, Hoffer 7506416); 3111137300 (Meat & Doria 76385, Hoffer 7506385); 16117297778 (Meat & Doria 77788); 8450008680 (Kamoka 8410005)
Fitment notes	Petrol and hybrid RAV4s take an in-tank module with sender; a cartridge goes into the original housing and keeps the sender. The 2.0 and 2.2 D-4D diesels use a separate low-pressure feed pump and are not covered by these petrol cartridges.

A Genuinely Important Habit Worth Building: Checking for Open Recalls — Toyota RAV4 Fuel Pump

Toyota and Lexus have issued multiple genuine, official fuel pump recalls across various models since around 2020, related to an underlying pump design issue that can cause worn or damaged components inside the high-pressure fuel pump, with a real risk of fuel leak or engine stalling in the worst cases. It's genuinely worth checking your specific VIN against Toyota's official recall checker directly, rather than assuming a notice would definitely have reached you, particularly on a used car or one bought from a previous owner who may have moved address.

Worth knowing if you're buying used: it's genuinely worth asking a seller directly whether any relevant recall work has been completed, and requesting to see documented evidence in the service history rather than simply taking their word for it.

It's also worth knowing that a clean check for one specific recall doesn't guarantee there are no other open recalls affecting your exact build — checking the full list against your VIN rather than a single recall in isolation is worth doing periodically, particularly after buying a used car.

Toyota RAV4 Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Toyota RAV4, there's rarely a convenient time for this to fail — it tends to strike mid-journey rather than while the car's sitting safely on the drive. Knowing what the early symptoms look like buys valuable time to get ahead of it.

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.

Toyota RAV4 Fuel Pump: What It Does

The job here is simple in principle — draw fuel from the tank, deliver it to the engine at the right pressure — but the Toyota RAV4's fuel pump sits submerged inside the tank, which makes physical access for replacement far more involved than the small part itself implies.

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-2019 generations, petrol	Petrol: typically a single in-tank low-pressure pump; confirm your exact engine
2001–2018, 2.0/2.2 D-4D diesel (1CD-FTV and successors)	Diesel: in-tank lift pump feeds a separate engine-mounted high-pressure injection pump (common rail) — never interchangeable with the petrol pump. Toyota discontinued diesel RAV4 options after 2018 in favour of hybrid-only power.
Current generation (2019–present), hybrid/PHEV, petrol only — no diesel offered	Petrol/hybrid: single in-tank low-pressure pump — the hybrid system doesn't change this; the combustion engine still needs its own fuel pump
