Because it sits on the suction side of the pump, the strainer draws fuel through its mesh to protect the pump and injectors. A clogged or deteriorated strainer can restrict flow; if that restriction is the cause of hard starts, stalling, or hesitation, replacing this part restores unobstructed fuel pickup. Replace it whenever the fuel pump is serviced.
