The fuel pump of my 2007 Fiesta ST150, packed up. On removing and disassembling the in-tank fuel pump assembly I’ve discovered that the filter/strainer attached to the bottom of the pump has also disintegrated. I’ve purchased a new replacement pump but so far unable to source another fuel filter. It appears a complete assembly can be purchased from Ford at a significant cost, but any advice on sourcing a filter on its own or overcoming this problem would be much appreciated.
