TROY, Mich. Delphi Product & Service Solutions (DPSS) has added nine new fuel modules and pumps to its fuel management portfolio covering more than 2 million Chrysler, GM and Toyota vehicles from 1997 to 2012. New part numbers include: FG1051, FG1052, FG1053, FG1054, FG1055, FE0465, FE0466, FE0467 and FE0468.
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.
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, the company says. 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.
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, according to the company. 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 says it 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.

SPECIAL NOTE: Two of the new modules (FG1052 and FG1053) cover the 2006-2012 Dodge Charger Police Pursuit vehicles. Police vehicles are higher mileage, which means these applications are typically more popular.
