OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 580 454 094 / Hüco 133047
| Fuel pumps / feed units (aftermarket) | Hüco 133047 (petrol in-tank pump assembly); Bosch 0 580 454 094 (in-tank pump); Bosch 0 580 454 093 (in-tank pump); Delphi FE0429-12B1 (bare in-tank petrol pump, 113 x 38 mm, metal housing, no pressure sensor, no seal); Magneti Marelli 313011300142 (in-tank pump, 3 bar / 115 l/h, 12 V); Magneti Marelli 313011300081 (in-tank pump, 3 bar / 95 l/h, 12 V); ERA 770046A (in-tank pump, 3 bar, 2 connectors, 50.5 mm diameter, repair kit 770046 offered); Ridex 458F0005 (in-tank pump, 3.3 bar / 100 l/h, 38 mm diameter, 115 mm long). |
|---|---|
| Types & variants | Every Niro in this generation is a 1.6 GDI hybrid or plug-in hybrid (plus the all-electric e-Niro, which has no fuel pump), so everything offered is a petrol in-tank pump; the choice is between 38 mm cartridges (Delphi, Ridex, Japanparts PB-997 at 3.35 bar) and 50 mm pumps (ERA). No complete module with level sender is listed, and a diesel Ridex 458F0069 (3.2 bar / 130 l/h) appears although no Niro diesel exists. |
| Genuine (OE) numbers quoted | 3111137300 (Hoffer 7506385, Meat & Doria 76385); 170429F500 (Hoffer 7506416, Meat & Doria 76416); 8450008680 (Kamoka 8410005). None is a Kia number. |
| Fitment notes | The hybrid tank is pressurised and sealed, so the pump is only reached through the sender module; a bare cartridge can go into the existing housing if diameter, ports and plug match, and the gauge sender stays with the original module. |
A Genuinely Important Habit Worth Building: Checking for Open Recalls — Kia Niro Fuel Pump
Kia has issued multiple genuine, confirmed fuel pump and fuel pipe recalls across its larger models, including a follow-up recall covering cars that had an engine replaced under an earlier bearing recall, where the high-pressure fuel pipe connection may have been damaged or improperly torqued during that repair work. It's genuinely worth checking your specific VIN against Kia's official recall checker directly, particularly on a used car where you can't be certain a previous owner had any relevant recall work completed.
It's also worth knowing that Kia has, in some cases, extended fuel pump warranty coverage considerably beyond a car's original term on specific affected engines — worth checking directly with a dealer whether any extended coverage applies to your specific model.
Kia Niro Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments
On the Kia Niro, there's rarely a convenient time for this to fail — it tends to strike mid-journey rather than while the car's sitting safely on the drive. Knowing what the early symptoms look like buys valuable time to get ahead of it.

Kia Niro Fuel Pump: What It Does
The job here is simple in principle — draw fuel from the tank, deliver it to the engine at the right pressure — but the Kia Niro's fuel pump sits submerged inside the tank, which makes physical access for replacement far more involved than the small part itself implies.
Kia Niro Fuel Pump: Generations & Engines: Fuel Pump Type
| DE (2016–2022), 1.6 Kappa hybrid/PHEV petrol | Petrol: typically a single in-tank low-pressure pump; some later or higher-output variants may add a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump for direct injection — confirm your exact engine — the hybrid system doesn't change this; the combustion engine still needs its own fuel pump |
|---|---|
| SG2 (2022–present), 1.6 Kappa hybrid/PHEV petrol | Petrol: typically a single in-tank low-pressure pump; some later or higher-output variants may add a separate engine-mounted high-pressure pump for direct injection — confirm your exact engine — the hybrid system doesn't change this; the combustion engine still needs its own fuel pump |
