FixFuel Pump Replacement Cost
What owners actually paid
The shaded middle is where half of all these repairs landed: $397 – $848. The price on any one car depends on the vehicle — the table below shows the range for each.
What this repair is
The fuel pump pushes gas from the tank to the engine. When it dies the engine cranks but won't fire; when it's dying, the car may sputter at highway speed or start only sometimes. On most cars the pump lives inside the tank, which is why labor is a big share of the bill.

What moves the price
- Access panel or tank drop — the single biggest labor difference between vehicles.
- Module vs. pump — the complete module (with sender and strainer) costs more than a bare pump.
- Fuel level — a full tank has to be drained first — time.
Quotes near the low end usually mean access panel under the seat, pump only. Quotes near the high end usually mean tank dropped with a full load of fuel, complete module with sender, filter replaced, diesel high-pressure pump.
