Mercedes Sprinter Fuel Pump Assembly – Genuine OEM | VS30 2.0L & 3.0L Diesel | #9074709001 (2023–2024)
A failing fuel pump assembly on a VS30 Sprinter starves the injection system of the consistent, pressurized fuel supply it needs to start reliably and perform under load — causing hard starts, power loss, inaccurate fuel gauge readings, and eventually a no-start that leaves the van stranded. This is the Genuine Mercedes-Benz OEM in-tank fuel pump assembly for VS30 Sprinters equipped with the 2.0L OM654 or 3.0L OM642 diesel engine, a complete direct-fit replacement that includes the pump module and integrated level sender.
What This Part Does
The in-tank fuel pump assembly is mounted inside the fuel tank and performs two functions simultaneously. The electric fuel pump draws diesel from the tank and delivers it at the required pressure to the high-pressure injection system, maintaining a consistent fuel supply across all operating conditions — from cold starts to full-load highway operation. The integrated fuel level sender uses a float and resistive element to report tank level continuously to the instrument cluster and fuel management system. On the VS30, the assembly is accessed through the fuel pump flange on top of the tank, and the pump, strainer, sender, and associated tubing are replaced as a complete unit. When the pump motor wears, its strainer becomes blocked, or the sender's float or resistive track fails, fuel delivery becomes inconsistent and fuel gauge accuracy is lost.
Common Symptoms of a Failing Fuel Pump Assembly
- Hard starting or extended cranking before the engine fires, particularly when the tank is low
- Loss of power under load, stalling, or hesitation at highway speed from fuel pressure drop
- Inaccurate, erratic, or stuck fuel gauge reading in the instrument cluster
- Fuel pressure fault codes from the injection system ECU
- Engine running rough at idle when hot — a sign of reduced pump output under sustained load
When to Replace
Replace when the pump is confirmed as the source of low fuel pressure after ruling out the fuel filter, pressure regulator, and fuel lines. Also replace when the fuel level sender fails and causes gauge inaccuracy — the sender is not serviced separately from the pump assembly. Always replace the fuel pump o-ring (0259971845) when installing a new pump, and replace the fuel filter at the same time to protect the new pump from contamination.
VS30 Specific — VIN Verification Required
This fuel pump assembly fits VS30 Sprinters equipped with the 2.0L OM654 and 3.0L OM642 diesel engines. It is not compatible with NCV3 Sprinters (2007–2018). Fuel pump configurations vary by chassis length and fuel tank size — always verify by VIN before ordering. Contact us and we'll confirm fitment before you buy.
