Fuel Pump Strainer Overview

The Carter STS-138 fuel pump strainer is built for fuel system service where a clean pickup screen is needed at the pump inlet. It is a direct-fit style replacement for select Nissan applications, including Frontier and Pickup models, with OE fit, form, and function in mind.

Use this fuel pump strainer when servicing a Nissan Frontier or Nissan Pickup fuel delivery system and you need a replacement that matches the original connection style and screen format. The STS-138 part number is also useful when cross-checking fuel pump service parts for the same application.
