Detailed Description

Carter STS-136 is a fuel pump strainer intended for the fuel pickup side of the system, where it helps keep debris from entering the pump inlet. The media construction and push-on design support a secure connection and consistent filtration at the pump. This part number, STS-136, is listed for 1995-1999 Nissan Maxima, 1996-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, 1999-2004 Nissan Frontier, 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra, 1996-1999 INFINITI I30, 1997-2003 INFINITI QX4, and 1999-2002 INFINITI G20.

This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps FS194 and Delphi FS0169 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a clogged or restricted fuel pump strainer
• Restoring fuel pickup flow at the pump inlet
• Reducing debris entry into the fuel pump assembly
• Addressing fuel delivery issues caused by contaminated tank sediment
• Supporting proper fuel system service on Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra, and INFINITI QX4 applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pump inlet diameter and attachment style before installation. The STS-136 uses a push-on connection and an 11.0 mm fitting inside diameter, so the replacement should match the pump inlet specification. Confirm vehicle application by year and model before service, especially on Nissan Maxima, Pathfinder, and Xterra platforms.

Quality Assurance

Carter fuel system parts are engineered for OE fit, form, and function with broad vehicle coverage and problem-solving design features. The STS-136 is built to meet the dimensional and connection requirements listed for the application.
