Product Details

The Airtex FS118 fuel pump strainer is engineered to provide reliable filtration at the fuel pickup point, where debris control matters most. By reducing contaminants before they reach the fuel pump and fuel filter, this strainer helps support fuel system life and consistent fuel delivery. It is listed for 1989-1992 Ford Probe models and cross-references Carter STS-73 for the same application. The FS118 part number is also used in interchange listings for related fuel pump service applications.

Common Issues It Can Help Address

• Fuel system contamination at the pump pickup
• Restricted fuel flow caused by a clogged strainer
• Premature wear on the fuel pump from debris exposure
• Reduced fuel filter service life from upstream contamination
• Poor fuel delivery in Ford Probe fuel system maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the FS118 during fuel pump service and replace the existing strainer rather than reusing it. Airtex notes that a new strainer is required to validate the warranty. Confirm the inlet type and fuel pump configuration before installation, and verify fitment for your specific 1989-1992 Ford Probe application.

Quality Assurance

Airtex backs this fuel pump strainer with a limited 1-year warranty. The gradient density design is intended to provide dependable filtration as part of routine fuel system maintenance.
