Application Coverage
Compatible With 1996-1997 Chevrolet C1500, 1993-1997 Chevrolet C2500, 1996-1997 Chevrolet K1500, and 1997 Chevrolet K2500 fuel system applications. It also fits 1996-1997 GMC C1500, 1996-1997 GMC K1500, and 1997 GMC P3500, along with many additional GM truck and van platforms from 1980 through 1997.

The Airtex FS22 is also listed for select Ford E-150 Econoline and E-150 Econoline Club Wagon front or rear fuel tank configurations.
What This Strainer Helps Address
- Fuel pump inlet contamination from debris in the tank
- Restricted fuel flow caused by clogged pickup filtration
- Premature wear on the fuel pump from abrasive particles
- Reduced fuel filter and fuel system service life
- Fitment issues when replacing a worn or damaged original strainer
Installation Notes
Install the FS22 as an internal fuel pump strainer using the push-on attachment style. Verify tank configuration, model year, and any listed notes before installation, especially on applications marked for 20-gallon tanks, high temperature fuel sender exceptions, or specific tank codes. The strainer length is 180.3 mm, so confirm clearance and pickup orientation during service.
Quality Assurance
Airtex states that a new strainer is required to validate the warranty on the fuel pump assembly. The FS22 is built as a specific-fit replacement to support proper filtration at the fuel pickup point and maintain the intended fuel system service setup.
