How to Specify Fuel Pump Strainer & Sock Filter

  • Inlet fit: Push-on diameter and orientation must match the pump.
  • Micron rating: 40–70 µm protects the pump without restricting flow.
  • Media: Stainless dutch-weave resists ethanol fuels and does not swell like nylon.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

  • Make sure the sock lies flat on the tank floor and is not folded by the module.
  • Replace the strainer whenever the pump or module is replaced.

Common Mistakes

  • A kinked sock that starves the pump at low fuel levels.
  • Fitting a finer strainer than specified, which causes vapor lock in hot weather.

When Fuel Pump Strainer & Sock Filter Is Not the Right Choice

Not the main fuel filter — a fine pressure-side filter is still needed.
