Detailed Description

Spectra STR102 is a fuel pump strainer designed for select Ford Taurus, Ford Tempo, Mercury Topaz, and Mercury Sable vehicles. It is intended for applications that use an offset plastic outlet tube, with one Taurus fitment also specifying a 16 or 18.6 gallon tank. As a fuel pump pickup filter, it helps keep debris from entering the fuel delivery system before it reaches the pump.

The Spectra line uses engineering, manufacturing technology, and quality control processes to produce replacement strainers that meet or exceed original equipment performance. If you are replacing a worn or restricted strainer on a Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, or related application, STR102 provides a direct replacement reference for the listed fitments. The STR102 part number appears in interchange data alongside several related references.

What It Is Used For

• Restricted fuel flow caused by a clogged pickup strainer

• Service replacement on listed Ford and Mercury fuel systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify tank configuration and outlet tube style before ordering, especially on Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable applications with offset plastic outlet tube notes. Match the listed year, make, model, and notes exactly to the vehicle being serviced. Confirm the STR102 part number against the existing application reference before installation.
