FUEL STRAINER

Fuel Strainer

The fuel strainer attaches to the lower end of the fuel sender. The fuel strainer is made of woven plastic.

The functions of the fuel strainer are to filter contaminants and to wick fuel. The fuel 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.
