Fuel Filter Location

[bunker108]

I am going from two portable 6 gallon tanks to a fixed 18 gallon tank. I want to install a fuel filter in-line somewhere. Should it be placed before the prime bulb and after the tank or after the prime bulb and before the engine? Thanks!

Doesn't matter just make sure no air leaks.

I do not know any more than you, but I would put the filter in the orginal position. There should be a place on the engine; the fuel line leading to the fuel pump

Anywhere before the squeezie ball.Easy access,to change filter.Then a small particle filter between the pump and carbs.
Wally world,part# G12 or G2, something like that.
Any inline connectors?They leak (ethanol)and suck air.

So would a fuel filter/water seperator be advisible? Something like this?

I like this style because of the mounting options. What do you think?
