Keep clean fuel flowing to your pump with the US Motor Works Fuel Pump Strainer 12-146-5. This in-tank strainer mounts on the fuel pump pickup and screens dirt, rust, and debris out of the fuel before it reaches the pump. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1993 Mazda Miata [L4-1.6L], 1991-1995 Acura Legend [V6-3.2L], 1997-2001 Honda Prelude [All], and 1999-2005 Mazda Miata [All].

  • Inlet filtration: Strains contaminants from the fuel as it is drawn into the pump, helping guard the pump and downstream components.
  • Fuel-side design: Built for the suction/inlet side of the in-tank fuel pump.
  • Direct-fit replacement: Serves as a replacement strainer for the listed applications.

A clogged or torn strainer can restrict fuel flow, so signs it may need replacing include fuel starvation, hesitation, or stalling. If a restricted strainer is the cause of these symptoms, replacing it with the 12-146-5 addresses that restriction; diagnose the cause before servicing, since these symptoms can have other sources. It is good practice to replace the strainer whenever the fuel pump is serviced.
