Denso 952-0051 Fuel Pump Strainer

Denso Fuel Tank Pump Strainer 952-0051

Denso 952-0051 is a fuel pump strainer for the fuel tank pump assembly, built for Subaru applications that require a precise inlet filter at the pump. With an 89.0 length, 3.54 width, and 0.430 fitting inside diameter, it supports proper fuel pickup at the tank side while helping keep debris out of the fuel delivery system.

The Denso Fuel Tank Pump Strainer line focuses on direct-fit fuel filtration at the pump inlet. For Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, and Subaru Legacy applications, this strainer supports clean fuel flow where the pump draws from the tank, making it a practical replacement when the original strainer is restricted or worn.

Key Features

• Fuel pump strainer for in-tank fuel delivery systems
• Length: 89.0
• Width: 3.54
• Fitting inside diameter: 0.430
• Direct replacement style for Subaru fuel tank pump service
• Part number: 952-0051

Detailed Description

This Denso fuel pump strainer is used at the pump inlet to filter fuel before it reaches the pump and downstream fuel system components. It is a fitment-based replacement for 1998-2004 Subaru Forester, 1995-2004 Subaru Impreza, and select Subaru Legacy applications, including 1990-1996 Legacy, 1997 Legacy from 06/1998 with a 38mm diameter pump, and 1998 Legacy with a 38mm diameter pump. The 952-0051 part number is also useful when searching for a Subaru Forester fuel tank pump strainer or Subaru Impreza fuel pump strainer by exact reference.

This part cross-references Airtex FS162 and Delphi FS0095 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Restricted fuel pickup caused by a clogged pump inlet strainer
• Fuel delivery issues related to debris at the tank pump inlet
• Poor pump inlet flow from a worn or contaminated strainer
• Maintenance replacement during fuel pump service on Subaru Forester, Impreza, and Legacy models
• Fuel system contamination at the pump inlet

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pump diameter and application notes before installation, especially on Legacy models that specify a 38mm diameter pump or a build-date note from 06/1998. Match the strainer to the fuel pump inlet and inspect the tank area for contamination before reassembly. Confirm the part number 952-0051 against the vehicle’s fuel system configuration before service.

Quality Assurance

Denso supplies fuel system components with OE-style fit and application-specific dimensions for service replacement use.
