Airtex FS168 Fuel Pump Strainer

Fuel Pump Strainer for Subaru Legacy and Impreza

Airtex FS168 is an internal fuel pump strainer built for specific Subaru applications, including Legacy and Impreza models. It serves as the first filtration stage at the pump inlet, helping keep fuel system contaminants out of the pump and downstream components.

• Fuel pump strainer for internal mounting
• Push-on attachment with 11.0 mm inside diameter fitting
• White media strainer material for fuel filtration
• Specific fit for select Subaru Legacy and Subaru Impreza applications
• Length: 137.2; Width: 78.7
• Cross-reference: Delphi FS0095

Detailed Product Overview

The Airtex FS168 fuel pump strainer is designed to mount inside the fuel tank at the pump inlet, where it helps capture debris before it reaches the fuel pump. For Subaru Legacy fuel pump strainer replacement and Subaru Impreza fuel system service, this part supports cleaner fuel delivery and helps reduce wear on the pump and fuel filter. Airtex notes that a new strainer is required to validate the warranty, making replacement important during fuel pump service.

This part cross-references Delphi FS0095 for the same application.

Fitment

• Fits 1990-1999 Subaru Legacy, N/A, with 2 inch Diameter Pump
• Fits 1996-1998 Subaru Legacy, N/A
• Fits 1993-1997 Subaru Impreza, N/A

What It Helps Address

• Fuel pump inlet contamination
• Restricted fuel flow from debris buildup
• Premature fuel pump wear
• Reduced fuel filter service life
• Fuel delivery issues related to a clogged strainer

Installation Notes

Install the FS168 as an internal fuel pump strainer using the push-on connection and verify the 11.0 mm inside diameter fit at the pump inlet. Confirm vehicle application before installation, especially on 1990-1999 Subaru Legacy models with a 2 inch diameter pump and on 1993-1997 Subaru Impreza applications. Replace the strainer during fuel pump service to maintain proper filtration at the tank pickup point.

Quality Assurance

Airtex gradient-density strainers are built to provide reliable filtration at the fuel pump inlet. Airtex also specifies that a new strainer is required to validate the warranty.
