Abstract
A strainer constructed for attachment to an inlet of a fuel pump has at least one layer of permeable material forming a cavity. A body is disposed at least in part in the cavity and has at least one tubular portion arranged for fluid communication with the inlet of the fuel pump to provide a substantially unrestricted flow path leading from the filter to the inlet of the fuel pump, while inhibiting vapor from entering the fuel pump.
