Detailed Description

Carter STS-120 is a fuel pump strainer designed for direct use in supported fuel delivery applications. With a media strainer element, 213.4 mm length, 63.5 mm width, and 11.0 mm fitting inside diameter, it is built to match the dimensional requirements of the fuel pump inlet side. This part number, STS-120, is listed with coverage for 2002-2003 Nissan Maxima, 1993-2002 Mazda 626, 2000-2001 Nissan Sentra Clean Fuel Fleet Vehicle, 1993-1997 Ford Probe, and 1993-1997 Mazda MX-6.

Carter’s fuel systems program emphasizes OE-style fitment and broad vehicle coverage, making this strainer a practical replacement when servicing the fuel pump assembly on Nissan Maxima and Mazda 626 applications. The STS-120 also cross-references Spectra Premium STR52 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Fuel pump inlet contamination
• Restricted fuel flow caused by a clogged strainer
• Poor fuel delivery from a worn or damaged filter media
• Fuel system service needs on high-mileage vehicles
• Replacement during fuel pump maintenance on compatible Nissan and Mazda models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the fuel pump inlet diameter and strainer dimensions before installation. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, model, and notes, especially for the 2000-2001 Nissan Sentra Clean Fuel Fleet Vehicle listing. Inspect the fuel pump assembly, seals, and surrounding components during service, and replace any worn parts as needed to restore proper fuel system operation.

Quality Assurance

Carter positions this fuel pump strainer within its OE fit, form, and function program, with emphasis on vehicle coverage and problem-solving fuel system components. The STS-120 is built to meet the dimensional and application requirements listed for supported vehicles.
