Which Honda Civic Models Use 06161-59B-305?

Fitment Guide · September 2026 · 7 min read

If you are searching for Honda part number 06161-59B-305, you are probably trying to confirm whether this high-pressure fuel pump fits a specific Honda Civic 1.5T. Honda 1.5L turbo engines use direct fuel injection, and the high-pressure fuel pump must match the correct engine and vehicle specification.

The part number 06161-59B-305 is commonly listed as a Honda high-pressure fuel pump or pump kit for certain Honda Civic 1.5L applications. But Civic model year, body style, engine specification, and regional market can all affect fitment.

This guide explains what buyers and repair shops should check before ordering.

What Is Honda Part Number 06161-59B-305?

Honda part number 06161-59B-305 is listed in Honda parts catalogs as a high-pressure fuel pump / pump kit for certain Civic 1.5L applications. It is used in the direct-injection fuel system rather than functioning as the standard low-pressure electric fuel pump located inside the fuel tank. The high-pressure pump supplies fuel to the fuel rail at the pressure required by the direct-injection system.

For repair shops, this distinction matters. A search for "Honda Civic fuel pump" may return several different components:

• In-tank fuel pump
• Fuel pump module
• High-pressure fuel pump
• Fuel feed pipe
• Fuel pump relay
• Fuel pressure sensor

These parts are not interchangeable. If your vehicle requires the engine-mounted high-pressure pump, ordering a low-pressure fuel pump assembly is not a valid substitute.

Honda Civic Applications for 06161-59B-305

The following table provides a general reference for commonly listed applications.

Important: This table is a general sourcing reference, not a substitute for VIN-based fitment confirmation. Honda catalogs can list different applications depending on country, production date, trim level, and engine specification.

Before ordering, confirm:

1. VIN
2. Model year
3. Engine code
4. Body style
5. Original part number on the existing component
6. Destination market

Is 06161-59B-305 the Same as a Honda Civic In-Tank Fuel Pump?

No. This is one of the most common sourcing mistakes. The Honda Civic fuel system contains more than one fuel-delivery component. The low-pressure pump normally moves fuel from the tank toward the engine. The high-pressure fuel pump then increases fuel pressure for the direct-injection system.

Because both components may be described simply as a "fuel pump," buyers can easily order the wrong part. When sending an inquiry, avoid writing only:

"I need a Honda Civic fuel pump."

Instead, provide:

• Honda Civic 1.5T high-pressure fuel pump
• Honda part number: 06161-59B-305
• Model year: [Year]
• VIN: [VIN if available]

This gives the supplier enough information to check the correct component.

What Engine Uses This Type of High-Pressure Fuel System?

Honda's turbocharged 1.5L Civic applications commonly use the L15B-series direct-injection engine family, including applications associated with the L15B7 engine. However, engine family information alone should not be used as the final fitment check. Honda may use different components depending on:

• Vehicle generation
• Performance version
• Market specification
• Production date
• Fuel system calibration

For example, a Civic Si, a standard Civic 1.5T, and another Honda vehicle using a related 1.5L turbo engine may not automatically use the same high-pressure pump.

Never assume that "same engine size" means "same fuel pump." Part number verification should always come first.

Related Part Numbers and Why They Matter

When searching for 06161-59B-305, you may also find older or related Honda part numbers. This can happen because manufacturers occasionally update service parts or replace individual components with a revised kit. A revised part number may include:

• Updated hardware
• Additional seals
• Installation-related components
• A replacement assembly
• A superseded service reference

That does not mean every visually similar pump is interchangeable. Before purchasing a cross-reference, ask the supplier:

Is this the exact requested Honda part number, or a superseded replacement?

If it is a replacement number, ask for confirmation of the supersession relationship. This is especially important for B2B buyers purchasing multiple units for workshops or resale — a wrong cross-reference can create repeated returns across multiple customers.

Common Fitment Mistakes With Honda Civic 1.5T Fuel Pumps

1. Confusing the High-Pressure Pump With the Tank Pump

The words "fuel pump" are too general. Always specify whether you need the high-pressure direct-injection pump or the low-pressure tank pump.

2. Matching Only by Vehicle Year

A 2018 Honda Civic is not a complete fitment description. Different body styles, trims, engines, and markets may use different components.

3. Matching Only by Engine Size

Two vehicles can both use a 1.5L engine while having different fuel system specifications. Always confirm the engine code and original part number where possible.

4. Using Product Photos as the Only Identification

Two pumps may look almost identical. Differences in internal specifications, fittings, sensors, or calibration may not be visible in a catalog photo. The part number remains the most reliable starting point.

5. Ignoring Regional Differences

US-market, European-market, Japanese-market, and Asian-market Honda vehicles can have different specifications. A part listed for one market should not be assumed to match another without confirmation.

How to Identify the Correct Honda Civic High-Pressure Fuel Pump

The safest sourcing process is simple.

Step 1: Check the Existing Part

Look for:

• Honda part number
• Manufacturer number
• Production markings
• Identification labels

Take clear photos of these markings when the original component is available for inspection.

Step 2: Confirm the Vehicle Information

Provide: full VIN, model year, model, engine code, transmission, and market destination.

Step 3: Compare the Part Number

Ask whether the quoted part is: exact match, official supersession, different OEM reference, or aftermarket replacement. These should be clearly identified.

Step 4: Request Actual Stock Photos

For high-value fuel system components, actual photos can help confirm packaging, labels, physical markings, connector configuration, and stock condition. Catalog images do not confirm current inventory.

Can 06161-59B-305 Be Used on Every Honda Civic 1.5T?

No. The fact that a vehicle is described as a Honda Civic 1.5T is not enough to guarantee compatibility. Fitment should be confirmed based on the complete vehicle specification. This is particularly important for:

• Civic Si
• Performance-oriented models
• Different production years
• Imported vehicles
• Regional-market vehicles

If you are unsure, treat the part number as the primary reference and the vehicle description as secondary confirmation.

OEM vs Aftermarket High-Pressure Fuel Pumps

For some repair jobs, an aftermarket replacement may be acceptable. However, high-pressure direct-injection components are precision parts. Before choosing an alternative, confirm:

• Exact application
• Fuel system compatibility
• Manufacturer identity
• Warranty terms
• Traceability

For repair shops handling repeat customers, the cost of a failed component can be higher than the initial purchase price difference. That is why many B2B buyers prefer verified OEM or original-equipment sourcing for fuel system components.

Not Sure Whether 06161-59B-305 Fits Your Civic?

Do not order based only on a product photo or a general "Honda Civic 1.5T" description. Send your VIN, original part number, or clear photos of the existing pump. We check the available part information before quoting to reduce unnecessary fitment guesswork.
