Fuel Modular Sender Flow:





A woven plastic strainer is located on the lower end of the fuel sender. This filter prevents dirt from entering the fuel line and also stops water unless the filter is self cleaning and normally requires no maintenance. Fuel stoppage at this point indicates that the fuel tank contains an abnormal amount of sediment or water. Therefore, should this occur, the fuel tank should be removed and thoroughly cleaned and the tank filter replaced.
