Modular Fuel Sender Serviceable Components

The serviceable components on the modular fuel sender are the fuel sender strainer, and the fuel level sensor assembly.

The strainer acts as a coarse filter to filter contaminants, separate water from fuel, and to provide a wicking action that helps draw fuel into the fuel pump.

Fuel stoppage at the strainer indicates that the fuel tank contains an abnormal amount of sediment or water. Therefore, the fuel tank should be removed, cleaned, and the filter strainer replaced. Refer to Fuel System Cleaning. Service and Repair
