Fuel Pump Pickup Filter: Description and Operation
A woven plastic filter is located on the lower end of the fuel pickup tube in the fuel tank. The filter prevents dirt from entering the fuel line. Unless the
filter becomes completely submerged, the filter also stops water.
This filter is self-cleaning. The filter normally requires no maintenance. At this point, the fuel stoppage indicates that the fuel tank contains an abnormal
amount of sediment or water; therefore, clean the tank thoroughly.
