Detailed Description

Use the Sparta PN7020 when servicing an in-tank fuel pump assembly that requires a replacement strainer with OE-style dimensions and attachment. The 31-micron polyester media is designed to capture fine debris before it reaches the fuel pump, helping maintain consistent fuel flow in vehicles such as the Ford E-150 Econoline, Ford E-250, Ford Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator. This part number also appears in Mercury Villager and Ford F-150 fuel system service applications.

This part cross-references Bosch 68064 and Carter P74811S for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Restricted fuel flow caused by a clogged pump inlet screen
• Fuel pump noise related to debris at the pickup point
• Hard starting from contaminated fuel delivery
• Fuel starvation under load from a dirty strainer
• Service replacement for aging in-tank fuel pump assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Install the strainer on the fuel pump inlet using the push-on attachment specified for this part. Confirm the fitting inside diameter and overall dimensions match the original component before assembly. Clean the fuel tank and inspect the pump module during service so the new strainer is not exposed to leftover contamination. Verify vehicle application by year, make, and model before ordering PN7020.
