Delphi FE0483 Electric Fuel Pump - In-Tank

Delphi FE0483 Electric Fuel Pump Overview

The Delphi FE0483 is an in-tank electric fuel pump for gasoline applications, built for 12-volt systems and a 44 psi system pressure requirement.

What This Fuel Pump Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by weak fuel delivery
• Engine stalling from insufficient fuel pressure
• Fuel starvation under load or at higher demand
• Loss of prime in an in-tank fuel system
• Replacement needs on aging Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, and Lincoln Continental fuel systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installing the Delphi FE0483, clean the fuel tank to reduce the risk of contamination and premature pump failure. Delphi notes this is especially important on supported Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, and related in-tank applications; a fuel tank cleaning kit is recommended where specified in the fitment notes. Verify the vehicle uses an in-tank gasoline fuel pump with the listed terminal style, outlet type, and pressure requirements before installation.

Use the included seals and follow the instruction sheet during assembly. This pump does not include a wiring harness or strainer.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds aftermarket fuel system parts with OE experience and application knowledge developed through long-term supplier relationships with major automakers. The FE0483 is a standard replacement fuel pump intended to meet the needs of the listed vehicle applications with the specified electrical and pressure characteristics.
