What is the part number for Toyota fuel pump?

There isn’t a single universal part number for Toyota fuel pumps. The exact designation depends on your vehicle’s model, year, engine, and region. To identify the correct part, you need the vehicle’s specifics or to inspect the pump itself. Here’s how to determine the right part number and verify compatibility before purchase.

Why there isn’t a universal number

Toyota uses separate part numbers for fuel pumps and fuel pump assemblies that vary by configuration. The same model year can have different pumps for different engines or trim levels. Regional variations (such as differences between markets) may also use different numbers. The most reliable method is to reference the VIN or read the label on the pump assembly.

How to identify the correct part number

Use these steps to locate the exact fuel pump part number for your Toyota:

1. Gather your vehicle details: VIN, model, year, engine code, and trim level.


2. Look for a label on the fuel pump assembly itself; it often lists the part number, pressure rating, and connector type.


3. Use a VIN-based parts lookup through Toyota’s official parts catalog or your local dealership’s parts system to pull the exact match.


4. Cross-check the part with the model’s service manual or parts diagram to ensure you’re ordering the correct item (pump vs. module, and whether it includes the sending unit, filter, or seals).


5. Confirm compatibility with your fuel system specifications (pressure, flow, return type) and the electrical connector configuration.

Following these steps helps prevent mismatches, delays, or incorrect orders when shopping for a replacement.

Online resources and how to use them

These sources are commonly used to verify the correct part number:

• Official Toyota Genuine Parts catalogs or dealer portals, which provide VIN-based lookups and the exact pump for your vehicle.


• Reputable automotive parts retailers that offer vehicle compatibility checks and diagrams, often keyed to VIN or year/model/engine.


• The vehicle’s owner’s manual or service manual, which may indicate the pump or assembly part number or provide diagrams for cross-checking.

Always confirm the part number across multiple sources before purchasing, especially when ordering online.

Practical tips and pitfalls to avoid

Be mindful of terminology: “fuel pump” can refer to just the pump component or to a full assembly that includes the sending unit, filter, and related seals. Some models require a specific pump module with a unique connector. If you’re uncertain, ask the parts counter to verify by VIN and engine code, and consider replacing the sending unit and seals together to prevent leaks.

Summary

The right Toyota fuel pump part number is not universal. It is determined by your vehicle’s exact configuration, and the most reliable method to identify it is via VIN-based lookup or by inspecting the pump label. When in doubt, consult a Toyota dealer or trusted parts retailer and verify the part across multiple sources.

How to find fuel pump part number?

Part numbers, also sometimes referred to as model numbers, can be found on your pump's tag. A pump tag is a small rectangular plate that displays all the basic information about your pump.

How do I find out what fuel pump I need?

To find the right fuel pump, you need to know your engine's horsepower, fuel pressure requirements, and fuel type, as these factors determine the necessary flow rate and pressure the pump must provide. Additionally, you must decide between an in-tank or in-line pump and consider factors like voltage, filtration, and whether a return-style fuel system is appropriate for your vehicle. 
Key factors to consider

• Horsepower: Higher horsepower engines require more fuel, so a higher flow rate (measured in gallons per hour or liters per hour) is needed. 
• Fuel Pressure:
  • Carbureted engines: Typically need lower pressure, between 4 and 9 psi. 
  • Fuel-injected (EFI) engines: Require much higher pressure, often between 40 and 60 psi. 
  • Forced induction engines (turbocharged or supercharged): Need pressure that increases with boost levels. 
• Fuel Type: Some fuels, like E85, require a significantly higher flow rate than gasoline due to lower energy content. 
• Voltage: The voltage supplied to the pump affects its flow rate; for example, a pump rated at 60 psi and 13.5 volts will flow more than the same pump at 12 volts. 
• System Type:
  • Return vs. non-return: A return-style system is generally recommended for EFI as it circulates fuel, which helps cool the pump and eliminates air pockets. 
  • In-tank vs. in-line: In-tank pumps are cooled by the fuel, while in-line pumps are often easier and less expensive to replace. 

How to choose

1. Determine your engine's needs: Find your engine's maximum horsepower, its specific fuel pressure requirements, and the fuel type it uses. 
2. Calculate the required flow rate: Use your horsepower and fuel type to estimate the required flow rate in gallons per hour (gph) or liters per hour (lph). A general rule of thumb is to calculate approximately 0.5 pounds of fuel per hour per horsepower for gasoline, but this can vary. 
3. Find a pump that meets the requirements: Look for a fuel pump that can provide the necessary flow rate at your required pressure and voltage. 
4. Consider system requirements: Decide on an in-tank or in-line pump and whether a return-style system is needed for your application. 
5. Account for other factors: Select a pump with appropriate filtration and fittings, and ensure your electrical system can handle the pump's power draw.
