Product Description
A fuel pump strainer, also known as a fuel pump filter or sock, is a component that sits at the inlet of the fuel pump. Its primary function is to filter out debris and contaminants from the fuel before it enters the pump. Here’s why it’s important to replace it:
Functions of a fuel pump strainer:
Contaminant filtration: It prevents dirt, rust, and other particles from clogging the fuel system, ensuring clean fuel reaches the engine.
Pump protection: By keeping contaminants out, it helps protect the fuel pump from damage and premature wear.
Fuel efficiency: A clean strainer ensures optimal fuel flow, which can improve engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Reasons to replace the fuel pump strainer:
Clogging: Over time, the strainer can become clogged with debris, restricting fuel flow and leading to poor engine performance.
Prevention of damage: Replacing a worn or damaged strainer helps prevent potential issues with the fuel pump, which can be costly to repair or replace.
Maintaining performance: Regular replacement helps ensure that the fuel system operates efficiently, contributing to overall engine health.
