What This Part Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by weak fuel delivery
• Engine hesitation from inconsistent fuel pressure
• Fuel gauge errors tied to a worn sending unit
• Loss of power under load from reduced pump output
• Noise or drivability issues from an aging in-tank module

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle is a 2006-2009 Subaru Legacy or 2006-2009 Subaru Outback before installation. Replace the tank seal during service, verify connector style and outlet configuration, and inspect the fuel lines and electrical connector before reassembly. Because mounting hardware and lock ring are not included, reuse or source the required service components as needed. PN3217 is a specific-fit module, so matching the original tank layout and electrical connection is important for proper installation.
