The Fuel Pump Strainer is an important component of your Corvette's fuel system that should not be overlooked. This strainer attaches to the bottom tube of the fuel tank sending assembly where the fuel pump sucks in fuel from the tank.
The strainer ensures that only clean fuel can enter the fuel pump. If any contaminants enter the pump, either the pump will be damaged or if gets further, your fuel injectors will be cycling dirty fuel that will eventually lead to carbon build-up that could clog your injectors.
