Used fuel pump prices

Across 90 vehicle-specific guides with current pricing, used fuel pump guide medians run from $75 to $216, with a typical median of $123. Condition grade, mileage, and fitment move the price within that range.

Usually, yes. Buying a used fuel pump from a salvage yard or auto recycler typically costs a fraction of the new fuel pump replacement cost at a dealership. Compare the grade-level medians above against any replacement quote you've received, and remember our figures exclude shipping and installation labor.

Salvage yards, junkyards, pick-and-pull lots, and online used parts marketplaces all sell used fuel pumps. Our index tracks asking prices nationally, so you can benchmark a local quote against the market range before you buy.

Expect to pay toward the upper half of the $75–$216 range for a grade-A fuel pump with low mileage. Check the grade table above for the current grade-level medians, and confirm whether shipping and any core charge are included in the quote.

They can be — condition grade is the key. Grade A parts come off low-mileage vehicles with little to no damage, grade B is average, and grade C or ungraded parts are the gamble. Buy grade A or B from a yard that offers a return window or warranty, and confirm the mileage of the donor vehicle before paying. The grade-level medians above show what each tier should cost.

Yes. A fuel pump assembly is another name for a fuel pump. Other common names include fuel pump module, electric fuel pump, gas pump, in-tank fuel pump. The prices on this page apply regardless of what it's called in your region or by your mechanic.

The fuel sending unit is the float-and-resistor assembly that measures fuel level and reports it to your gauge; on most modern vehicles it's built into the same in-tank module as the electric fuel pump. If your gauge reads wrong but the engine starts and runs fine, the sending unit alone may be at fault, and some vehicles sell it separately. But on many popular models the pump and sending unit only come as one combined module, so a failure in either one can mean replacing the whole assembly.

The (low-pressure) fuel pump most listings reference is the in-tank or inline pump that moves fuel from the tank to the engine at moderate pressure — what most port-injected gasoline engines use. A high pressure fuel pump is a separate, mechanically or electrically driven pump found on direct-injection gasoline engines and diesels, which further pressurizes fuel to the very high pressures required for direct injection into the cylinder. If your vehicle is direct-injected, confirm which pump actually failed — they're different parts at very different price points.
