Just been informed the fuel pump has gone. Anyone any suggestions were to try for the cheapest replacement please? Also how big of a job is replacing the fuel pump is it very difficult and time consuming? Is it located in fuel tank etc? Thanks in advance

It will be in the tank I should think. Changing one all depends upon how good the access is to the tank.

Indeed it is. You don't need to remove the fuel tank, it's accessible if you remove the rear seat. Procedure attached - seems straightforward enough. There's a special tool shown in the description but you could likely improvise something.

Chris@Souls might be a good place to start for the parts.

or a local scrapyard, although the bigger places seem to charge plenty these days.

looks to be about a steady hour given the right tools.

Have a look at the Eper diagram, looks like the fuel pump is screwed into the top of the tank.

Just a quick google, this came up

Not 100% sure if you can get to it under the back seat, if not you'd have to drop the tank.

Thanks for all the help

I have registered with a few of the parts websites that search for you and also tried Ebay etc for people selling parts.

Not sure which fuel pump will fit my car though and within what range of reg. Is it only fuel pumps from other 1.1 or will others fit?

Chris@Souls? Is souls the name of the company?

Printed the diagram off and looks fairly straightforward an handy to know it can be done in about an hour.


Thanks again everyone.

Yep - https://www.fiatforum.com/souls/

If you give Chris your Reg No & Chassis No he'll be able to tell you exactly what will & won't fit. I've used him myself & he's brilliant.

The same pump's listed for the 1.1 and 1.2 and it looks like all the petrol 500's as well.

There are a few Pandas being broken on Ebay, always worth an email see how much is wanted.

Thanks again I have put a question in the relevant section for Chris. I have also messaged someone earlier who is breaking a Panda on Ebay but its a 2010 but he states he has other parts also so worth a shot hopefully.
