In tank pump fuel strainer

[Welshy_Pete]

My 306 hdi has started hunting now and then on idle. Its got a new air filter and cleaned the maf as well.

I changed the fuel filter before with the old one being a little black due for a change.

I just checked now and the fuel pump in the tank the strainer blocked up a lot. I can see a lot of black stuff built up on the white strainer.

So is there a guide pictures to removing the strainer out apart from the fuel pump plastic housing?

I dont want to break things if possible to do it right.


Thanks

Yes, there's one on the other forum, I think Betty did a guide with pictures.

Although it might be time for a new pump. I've diagnosed two 306s in the past where it needed that known fix of a bang to the top of the pump to get it working. Both were over 12 years old and over 150,000 miles.

The pump inside the tank has a metal filter strainer it got blocked. I've cleaned this out and cleaned the tank also the car running great now.
