Carter STS-249 In-Tank Fuel Pump Strainer OE Replacement

The Carter STS-249 is a direct-fit, in-tank fuel pump strainer designed to protect your fuel system from harmful contaminants. As a critical first line of defense, this strainer filters out dirt particles, rust, and other debris before they can exit the fuel tank and damage downstream fuel system components.

A clogged or degraded fuel pump strainer restricts fuel flow, forcing the in-tank fuel pump to work harder than intended and accelerating premature pump failure. Replacing the strainer any time a new in-tank fuel pump is installed is considered a best practice to maintain system integrity and protect your investment.

Key Features:

• Direct fit OE replacement for a hassle-free installation
• Traps dirt, rust, and other contaminants before they leave the fuel tank
• Protects the fuel pump from accelerated wear caused by particulate contamination
• Engineered to meet or exceed original equipment fit and function standards
• Backed by Carter's over 100 years of fuel system manufacturing experience

Carter Fuel Systems has been a premier manufacturer of fuel pumps, assemblies, and accessories since 1909. Each strainer in the Carter STS line is purpose-built to deliver reliable filtration and long-term fuel system protection. Always replace the fuel pump strainer when servicing an in-tank fuel pump for optimal performance and durability.
