Detailed Description

Spectra STR16 is a fuel pump strainer intended for vehicles that use an in-tank pickup filter at the fuel pump assembly. This component helps trap contaminants before they enter the fuel system, which is important for maintaining fuel delivery consistency and protecting downstream components. It fits select Infiniti Q45 and J30 applications, as well as Nissan 240SX and Maxima models listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps (e.g., FS167) for the same application.

The STR16 is a practical replacement choice when servicing a clogged or deteriorated strainer on a compatible fuel system. The part number STR16 appears in multiple interchange listings, making it easier to verify against existing catalog references during repair planning.

What It Helps Address

• Restricted fuel flow caused by a dirty strainer
• Fuel pump strain from debris buildup at the pickup point
• Hard starting related to fuel delivery contamination
• Engine hesitation tied to inconsistent fuel supply
• Service replacement for a worn in-tank filter element

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the fuel system configuration against the listed fitment before ordering. Inspect the fuel pump assembly, pickup area, and tank condition during service so the replacement strainer can be installed on a clean, properly prepared assembly. Confirm part number STR16 against the existing reference number when matching catalog records.
