Airtex FS195 Fuel Pump Strainer

Fuel Pump Strainer for Hyundai and Kia

Airtex FS195 is an internal fuel pump strainer built for specific Hyundai and Kia applications. It uses gradient-density filtration to help capture fuel system contaminants before they reach the pump and filter, supporting cleaner fuel delivery in the tank.

Installation Notes

Install the strainer on the fuel pump inlet using the push-on attachment type. Confirm the vehicle’s exact model year and the 2001 Kia Optima build date note before installation. Because this is a specific-fit internal component, match the part to the fuel pump assembly before service.
