Carter STS-78 Fuel Pump Strainer

Fuel Pump Strainer Overview

The Carter STS-78 fuel pump strainer is an OE-fit replacement for select Isuzu fuel system applications. It is built for direct compatibility with the pump assembly and uses a media strainer element to help keep debris out of the fuel delivery path.

Key Features

• OE fit, form, and function for straightforward replacement.
• Media strainer material for fuel filtration at the pump inlet.
• Push-on attachment type for secure installation.
• White strainer body with a 139.7 mm length and 78.7 mm width.
• 10.95 mm inside diameter fitting.

Detailed Description

Built under Carter Fuel Systems, the STS-78 is part of a program focused on premium OE-style replacement parts with broad vehicle coverage and problem-solving design features. This fuel pump strainer is intended for select Isuzu Rodeo and Isuzu Trooper applications, including Fits 1991-1993 Isuzu Rodeo and Fits 1992-1993 Isuzu Trooper, and it also covers Fits 1994-1995 Isuzu Rodeo with the noted 2-inch diameter pump requirement. The STS-78 is a practical choice when replacing a worn or contaminated strainer in an Isuzu Rodeo or Isuzu Trooper fuel system.

What It Helps Address

• Fuel contamination reaching the pump inlet.
• Restricted fuel flow caused by a clogged strainer.
• Poor pump protection from debris in the tank.
• Replacement needs for OE-style fuel system service.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pump diameter and application notes before installation. This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps (e.g., FS165) for the same application. Confirm the push-on connection and fitting size match the existing fuel pump assembly before service.
