Spectra SP1172 Electric Fuel Pump

Electric Fuel Pump Overview

The Spectra SP1172 electric fuel pump is built to deliver the proper fuel volume and pressure for consistent engine operation. It is a direct-fit replacement for select Ford and Mercury applications, including in-tank configurations and models with a brass outlet tube where specified.

Use SP1172 when replacing a worn pump on Ford Escort, Mercury Tracer, Ford Tempo, or Mercury Topaz applications. The part number SP1172 is also referenced by several interchange numbers for the same application.

Key Features

• Electric fuel pump for air and fuel delivery systems
• Provides the fuel volume and pressure required for engine performance
• Fits select in-tank applications and brass outlet tube configurations
• Compatible with multiple Ford and Mercury model years
• Part number SP1172 for easy identification

Detailed Description

Spectra Premium electrical fuel pumps are engineered to supply the engine with the correct amount of fuel at the correct pressure. SP1172 serves as a replacement fuel pump for specific Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer models from 1994-1997, plus Ford Tempo and Mercury Topaz applications from 1988-1994, with fitment notes that include in-tank pump and brass outlet tube variations. For buyers searching for a Ford Escort fuel pump, Mercury Tracer fuel pump, or Ford Tempo fuel pump, SP1172 provides a fitment-specific option that matches the listed applications.

This part cross-references Delphi (e.g., FE0109, FE0154) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard starting caused by weak fuel delivery
• Engine hesitation from low fuel pressure
• Fuel starvation under load
• Loss of performance from a failing electric pump
• Intermittent operation from an aging in-tank pump

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and fitment notes before ordering. Some listed applications require an in-tank pump, while others specify a brass outlet tube or a production cutoff date. The fitment notes also state that failure to install a new fuel strainer where applicable will void warranty coverage.

Quality Assurance

Spectra Premium fuel pumps are built to deliver the specified fuel volume and pressure for the application. Part number SP1172 should be matched to the exact fitment notes for Ford Escort, Mercury Tracer, Ford Tempo, and Mercury Topaz applications.
