Installation Notes and Tips

Verify year, make, model, and fuel system configuration before ordering. This strainer is listed with N/A position data, so match the application by vehicle fitment rather than side or axle position. Inspect the fuel tank and pump module for contamination during service, and replace the strainer whenever the fuel pump assembly is being serviced if the existing unit is dirty, brittle, or damaged.

US Motor Works supplies this fuel pump strainer as a replacement part for the listed applications. Confirm fitment against the vehicle’s model year and fuel system before installation.
