Fuel Sender Strainer

The fuel strainer acts as a coarse filter to perform the following functions:

• Filter contaminants
• Separate water from fuel
• Provide a wicking action that helps draw fuel into the fuel pump

Fuel stoppage at the fuel strainer indicates that the fuel tank contains an abnormal amount of sediment or water. The fuel tank will need to be removed and cleaned, and the fuel strainer should be replaced.
