Detailed Product Description

Carter P90041 is an electric fuel pump for in-tank installation, built for direct replacement use in select Ford Escort, Ford Tempo, Mercury Tracer, and Mercury Topaz models. The pump uses a strainer-style inlet, a single hose barb outlet, and a 12V electrical setup with male blade/spade terminals.
