SAE J1703 systems Brake & Power Steering Reservoir Strainer Specifications

A small stainless steel mesh basket strainer in the fill neck of a translucent brake fluid reservoir, engine bay, close-up

Brake & Power Steering Reservoir Strainer is used for straining brake fluid and power-steering fluid at the reservoir fill neck so debris from containers or funnels never reaches master cylinders and pumps. SAE J1703 systems is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
