Fuel Strainer

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The fuel strainer is made of woven plastic. The functions of the fuel strainer are to filter the contaminants and to wick the fuel. The fuel strainer attaches to the bottom of the fuel pump inside of the fuel sender reservoir. The fuel strainer normally requires no maintenance. Fuel stoppage at this point indicates that the fuel tanks contain an abnormal amount of sediment. If the fuel strainer is plugged, refer to Fuel System Cleaning .
