Product Details

The Autobest Fuel Pump Strainer, part number F303S, is a direct-fit style inlet strainer for select applications including Ford LTD Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, Lincoln Town Car, and related models. It is designed for use with fuel pump assemblies where a compact push-fit strainer is specified, and it cross-references Airtex FS202 and Carter STS-244 for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Help Address

  • Restricted fuel flow caused by a clogged strainer
  • Premature pump wear from abrasive particles

  • Service replacement for a worn or damaged inlet filter

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the pump style and inlet connection before installation, since this strainer uses a push-fit design. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for the exact year, make, and model, including notes such as Bosch OE pump or Quad 4 engine applications where listed. Clean the fuel tank and surrounding components during service to reduce repeat contamination.
