Where the Kia Optima fuel pump is listed
We found priced Kia Optima fuel pump listings at 578 salvage yards across 45 states. Florida supplies the most, with 654 listings (19% of the total) from 58 yards. Location matters: yards in Indiana ask a median $66, while Wisconsin yards ask $131, 98% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Kia Optima fuel pump cost?
Asking prices for a used Kia Optima fuel pump are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 33% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $100.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, pump only, engine mounted (top of valve cover), US built (VIN 5, 1st digit), 1.6L, lists at a $70 median, while pump only, engine mounted (top of valve cover), US built (VIN 5, 1st digit), 2.0L commands $125, a 79% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $85, while 2019 tops the table at $113. Parts from 2011–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Kia Optima sits 40% below the Ford F150 ($166), 20% below the Mercedes E Class ($125), and 33% below the Mercedes S Class ($150) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used fuel pump: what to check
- Inspect electrical connector for melt marks: Check the top plastic hat electrical socket for scorched spade terminals caused by high pump current draw.
- Check fuel sender float arm resistor track: Move the float arm smoothly to verify wiper contacts are not worn through or oxidized on the ceramic card.
- Verify suction filter strainer cleanliness: Inspect the lower pump strainer for rust scale, metal shavings, or gelled fuel residue from contaminated tanks.
- Confirm fuel line quick-connect types: Match internal fuel pressure regulator specs and supply line quick-connect fittings to your vehicle's fuel rail architecture.
- Replace tank lock ring rubber gasket: Always install a new fuel tank sealing gasket and clean the lock ring flange grooves during pump reassembly.
