1990 VW Jetta GL fuel tank
 
Can anyone inform me if the fuel tank on this car
has a screen on the outleg leading to the fuel pump or fuel filter?
Thank you

The transfer pump will have, or should have, a strainer before it.
There might even be something as the fuel enters the main fuel pump box. I
remember unclogging that inlet on one Jetta that had a problem starting or
running.

Hi Dave
Does a diesel jetta have this strainer also?

My 88 Fox gas line works like this:
Pickup with screen to transfer pump.
Transfer pump to 1 quart replacable filter, then to main pump.
Main pump to inlet screen filter at the engine. This screen filter is
hidden.

I will assume that certain years of the diesel Jettas don't have any
strainers at the tank. Some years have some water seperators at the fuel
tank.

Basically I am not sure newman! <:-)
