Fuel Strainer Help

Have any of you guys replaced the fuel strainer on your sending units? Where did you get the replacements? What about entire sending units? Is Ford and salvage yards the only place to get them?

Thanks for the help!

Fuel Strainer Help

After going through three bad fuel sending units, I will never get one from a wrecking yard again. I am pretty sure you can still get them from a parts store, or your local Ford dealer.

I would just replace the whole sending unit, instead of messing with the screen. This is just my opinion, because I hate messing around with gas tanks, it's such a pain, and my girlfriend complains that I smell like gas for a week.

Enjoy! I know it's nice having a perfectly working fuel guage after getting the job done.
