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! Hi Dave
