I get that and was not underestimating the great engineering of any car part. However, it ultimately has a very basic purpose which is to pump fuel from a tank in through one pipe and back out through another to the engine. I don't understand how any of what you mentioned would affect the basic purpose of a pump. It was not sending enough fuel to power a 50cc moped. The fire protection etc shouldn't make any difference.
Anyway, I bought a secondhand one with the correct code based on advice above so will have to sell the new pump on to someone who has the correct car! Either that or if it sounds to anyone like I have been sent a dodgy pump, I'll just send it back.
