Delphi FE0351 Electric Fuel Pump Motor

This pump is a true, brand name pump for a great price. I did end up returning it because I found another issue, but this is the real deal.

I was working on a BMW F800s motorcycle that had been sitting since 2015. Gasoline in the tank was beyond bad and was probably the worst smelling gas I had ever taken a whiff of. Everything metal inside the tank had corrosion from moisture absorbed by the ethanol in the gas. The fuel pump was locked right up and needed replacing. You cannot purchase just the pump from BMW, you have to purchase the whole assembly to the tune of $500+. I was not going to spend that kind of money on a 16y/o motorcycle. So, I purchased the pump and along with other items that needed replacing got the bike running again. All in all I ended up putting $170 into the fuel pump assembly, $65 of that being the pump itself. Saved myself 70% over paying BMW it's exorbitant fee.

It’s an OEM pump for 2012 kia soul at a fraction of the price. Most websites sell the entire assembly but it was easy to disassemble and install this pump.

Worked like a charm

First let me say, I suspect based on current draw, fuel pressure, and the way it sounds, this is a quality pump. I don't have access to a scope so I can't say for certain but suspect the pump itself if quality. There are two reasons for the 3 stars. First, the female electrical connector on the pump is junk! Poor casting and doesn't fit well at all. It is substandard for even a very cheap, no name pump. The tolerance is too tight, and not by design. It has extra casting and is not perfectly symmetrical. Why is that important, since all it need to do it snap the electrical connector together even if it is difficult? Whats the big deal?! Well when you put this pump into the old unit you have to reassemble before connecting the electrical connector. There is just enough slack in the wire to do it any other way. Since it takes a very large amount of force to snap this connector together you run the risk of unsealing the pump, even if you are careful. Of course you won't know this until you have reinstalled the unit and turn the key. This happened to me, I had to take the until back out of my car, used a file and a Dremel to remove this extra casting and smooth out the connection without removing too much. What a pain and wasted hour for no reason other than Delphi's poor quality control. They talk non stop in all their commercials about how high quality their product are and then send out a product like this. The lost the second star since the filter they claimed worked for this car was not the correct one, not even close. Wasn't worth sending back, just ate the $7 and used the old filter. As a side note, I have fixed all my cars for the last 35 years and am much more mechanical than your average DIYer.

I ordered a Delphi FE0351 pump specifically, the delphi box arrived ( open) with an Airtex E8335 WHICH IS NOT THE SAME! The Delphi is rated at 40 psi, the Airtex 70 - 100. It's on its way back. When I ordered it was clearly a delphi part and eligible for Prime, but since my review it is now shipped by another supplier and also now states:Delphi partners with other manufacturers to supply the parts your car was originally built with. This product is in a Delphi package, however the part may have been manufactured by an independent Delphi supplier.

Product came as advertised and fit into the fuel sending assembly without any issues. Much cheaper alternative to a generic non-branded auto parts replacement pump.

This pump failed just outside the return window. Buyer beware.
