What It Is Used For

• Restoring fuel delivery on a vehicle with a weak or failed in-tank pump
• Correcting hard-start or no-start conditions caused by low fuel pressure
• Addressing engine hesitation under load from insufficient fuel flow
• Replacing a noisy or inconsistent fuel pump in the tank
• Resolving fuel starvation concerns on select Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, and Oldsmobile models

Installation Notes and Tips

Install FE0116 in the fuel tank position only. The unit uses a strainer-style inlet and hose-style outlet, so verify hose routing and electrical terminal orientation before installation. Delphi notes that the fuel tank should be cleaned before installing the pump to help prevent future seal problems. Confirm the vehicle’s fuel system requirements, including pressure and connector style, before final assembly.
