"Actually there isn't any since a strainer is, in reality, a coarse filter. The question is then one of semantics. Generally it is assumed that if the particle to be removed is not visible to the naked eye, the unit is filtering, and if the particle is visible, the unit is straining. The average human eye can detect a specific particle between 50 and 70 micros. Most people cannot see anything smaller than 325 mesh, or 44 microns. Since 200 mesh is equivalent to 74 microns, a general rule would be that if the screening device is coarser than 200 mesh, it is a strainer and if it is finer than 200 mesh it is a filter." - Factory Direct Pipeline Products Website

On a 2011 Ford E250, the primary fuel filter is located along the frame rail, typically near the driver's side, while there is also a strainer located inside the fuel tank. The strainer serves to filter out larger debris before fuel reaches the pump, but there is no additional fuel filter located on the engine itself.
