Detailed Product Overview

The Autobest F281S is a fuel pump strainer designed for vehicles that require a 177.8 mm length strainer in the fuel tank assembly. It is used in applications such as 1992-1996 Toyota Camry, 1992-1996 Lexus ES300, 1998-1999 Mazda Millenia, and 1989-1992 Ford Probe. This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps FS180 and Carter STS-73 for the same application.

As part of the Autobest Fuel Pump Strainer product line, the F281S is intended to support clean fuel delivery by capturing contaminants before they enter the pump. That helps maintain proper fuel flow in systems where debris can contribute to pump wear or restricted operation.

Common Issues This Part Helps Address

• Fuel pump inlet contamination from tank debris
• Restricted fuel flow caused by a clogged strainer
• Pump wear related to abrasive particles in the fuel system
• Fuel delivery problems in high-mileage tank assemblies
• Service replacement needs for select Toyota, Mazda, Lexus, and Ford applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the fuel pump assembly uses a push-fit strainer and confirm the required 177.8 mm length before installation. Match the vehicle application carefully, especially on 1992-1994 Toyota Camry USA-built models and other year-specific listings. Clean the fuel tank and surrounding components during service so the new strainer is not exposed to leftover contamination.
