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.
