Autobest Fuel Pump Strainer P/N:F205S
Keep dirt and debris out of your fuel pump with the Autobest Fuel Pump Strainer F297S. This inlet strainer (often called a fuel pump sock) mounts on the suction side of the in-tank fuel pump, where it screens contaminants out of the fuel drawn from the tank before it reaches the pump. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-1997 Nissan Pickup and the 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level applications.
A clogged or torn strainer can restrict fuel flow and cause hard starting, stalling, or hesitation; if the original strainer is the cause, replacing it with the F297S restores an unrestricted path into the pump. Inspect and replace it whenever the fuel pump is serviced.
