What Fuel Modules and Pump Assemblies Do
Delphi fuel modules and pumps are designed to deliver an immediate, uninterrupted flow of fuel to the engine’s fuel rail and injectors at the specified system pressure, resulting in more efficient operation.

Delphi fuel pump and module assemblies are designed to withstand harsh alcohol fuel blends and provide dependable, long-lasting performance, quick pressure rise and quiet, efficient operation.

Additionally, where required, fuel assemblies include integrated fuel level sensing components that deliver an accurate reading of the fuel level in the tank to the fuel gauge. Fuel modules typically include a fuel vapor pressure sensor that detects any leaks in the fuel tank or associated evaporative emissions components.

Why Fuel Assemblies Fail
Original equipment fuel modules, which house the electric fuel pump, typically operate for seven to 10 years before failure, depending on a variety of circumstances. Premature failures can be caused by extreme hot/cold environments, contaminated fuel or excessively running a vehicle on an empty tank. Running on empty does not keep the fuel pump fully submerged and can cause the pump to overheat.

THREE REASONS TO CHOOSE DELPHI FUEL MODULES

1. With the Benefit of More Than 100 Years of OE Heritage, it’s in Our DNA
Delphi fuel assemblies are built with OE-tested and validated components. As a world leader in fuel pump technology and an OE manufacturer, we design and build our fuel modules and pumps with dependable, reliable parts that you and your customers can trust.

2. Built to Withstand Today’s Fuels
With gasoline retailers now authorized to sell alcohol fuel blends containing 15 percent ethanol, Delphi fuel assemblies have undergone durability testing to ensure that they withstand up to 22 percent ethanol. In addition, Delphi has proactively upgraded many older model fuel pumps/modules designs with the latest technologies so that your Delphi replacement fuel pump will perform properly in today’s environment.

3. Designed to Meet or Exceed OE Performance Specifications
Delphi fuel pump assemblies are built with OE-validated parts and include OEM-grade wiring, electrical connectors and level sensor assemblies that deliver increased performance, durability and reliability over other aftermarket fuel pumps.
