Fuel Pump Strainer

A woven plastic strainer (3) is located on the lower end of the fuel sender. This filter prevents dirt from entering the fuel pipe and also stops water unless the filter becomes completely submerged in water. This fuel pump strainer is self cleaning and normally requires no maintenance. Fuel stoppage at this point indicates that the fuel tank contains an abnormal amount of sediment or water. Should this occur, the fuel tank should be removed and thoroughly cleaned and the fuel pump strainer replaced.
