Description:

The OEM Fuel Pump Strainer for Ford’s 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel engine is a small but essential component in your truck’s fuel delivery system. Its primary job is to filter out dirt, rust, and other contaminants from the fuel before it reaches the electric lift pump or mechanical fuel pump. By capturing debris at this early stage, the strainer protects the pump itself, the fuel lines, and the injectors from wear and clogging, helping to maintain smooth, reliable engine operation.

The 7.3L Powerstroke is a robust and durable engine, but like any diesel, it’s highly sensitive to fuel quality and cleanliness. Even small amounts of contamination can cause major issues—reduced fuel pressure, injector damage, poor combustion, hard starts, or loss of power. The fuel pump strainer acts as the first line of defense, keeping harmful particles out of the system and ensuring that only clean fuel is delivered to the engine.

Whether you’re maintaining a workhorse or restoring a 7.3L Powerstroke to peak condition, installing a fresh OEM Fuel Pump Strainer is a smart preventative step. Protect your fuel system, extend the life of your pump and injectors, and ensure consistent engine performance—trust the OEM strainer that was built for your Powerstroke.
