Detailed Description

Delphi FE0530 is engineered as a fuel pump and strainer set for select BMW 525i, 535i, 735i, 735iL, and M5 applications. It is an in-tank, electric gasoline pump with an external strainer, 2 male threaded terminals, and no gasket or wiring harness included. The pump’s 0.313 outlet outside diameter and hose-style outlet connection support direct fuel system service where the original unit matches these specifications.

This part cross-references Bosch 69491 for the same application.
