Source: smartcarofamerica.com Topic: fuel pump replacement Models discussed: 450 Solution status: unclear

Problem: Broke the fitting tube off the return line at the top of the fuel pump when installing a replacement gas tank in a 2005 Smart Fortwo. Needs to know where to get a new fuel pump or if a newer pump will work.

Solution: Replace with a new fuel pump assembly rather than attempting to repair. Mailman recommends sourcing a Bosch fuel pump unit designed for Smart 450 models (0.6-0.7L, 1998-2007) as the original is now 20 years old. The fuel pump is an all-in-one plastic assembly containing the pump, float, and delicate wiring that should not be repaired.

Key facts: - 2005 Smart Fortwo fuel pump is a complete sealed plastic assembly with fuel pump, float, and integral wiring - Pump is 20 years old in 2024 and prone to age-related degradation - Bosch fuel pump units for Smart 450 models (0.6-0.7L, 1998-2007) are compatible replacements - Repair of broken fittings is not recommended due to delicate internal components
