Detailed Product Description
The Delphi FG1281 fuel pump module assembly is engineered as a direct replacement for the Kia Soul fuel system. This electric in-tank pump operates at 12 volts and delivers an average flow rate of 45 liters per hour, supporting system pressures up to 44 psi with a maximum pressure capacity of 80 psi. The module features an internal strainer at the inlet to prevent contaminants from entering the fuel system, and a quick connect outlet with two ports sized at 0.375 inches outside diameter for secure fuel line attachment.
Equipped with a fuel level sender assembly and vapor pressure sensor, this module ensures accurate fuel level readings and supports evaporative emissions control. The blade-type terminals (four male terminals) provide reliable electrical connections. The included regulator maintains consistent fuel pressure, optimizing engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Compatible Vehicles and Applications
This fuel pump module assembly is compatible with Kia Soul models requiring a standard replacement fuel pump module. It is designed to address common fuel delivery issues such as:
- Intermittent or no fuel delivery causing engine stalling
- Inaccurate fuel gauge readings due to faulty sender assembly
- Fuel pressure fluctuations affecting engine performance
- Fuel contamination from inadequate filtration
- Electrical connection failures from worn terminals
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Delphi FG1281 fuel pump module assembly, ensure the vehicle’s fuel tank is properly depressurized and drained to avoid spills. The module is an in-tank type and requires careful handling of the internal strainer and fuel level sender assembly. Use appropriate tools to disconnect and reconnect the quick connect outlets and blade terminals. Verify all electrical connections are secure and free of corrosion before reassembly.
