Detailed Product Description
The Carter P74781M fuel pump module assembly is engineered for specific fitment in Chevrolet Alero, Cavalier, Malibu, Oldsmobile Cutlass, Pontiac Grand Am, and Sunfire models. This module includes a fuel sending unit to provide accurate fuel level data to the vehicle’s gauge.

The external strainer inlet type helps protect the pump by filtering fuel before it enters the module, while the included strainer and gasket ensure proper sealing and filtration.
The housing is made from POM (polyoxymethylene), a durable plastic material that withstands fuel exposure and mechanical stress. The module’s dimensions (94mm width and 259mm height) are tailored for a precise fit in the fuel tank. Although the regulator and mounting hardware are not included, the module features a hose connection outlet type and a rectangular connector shape with a receptacle terminal for reliable electrical connections. The integrated fuel tank pressure sensor supports system diagnostics and performance monitoring.
