in-line fuel filter pre pump

[melmount]

What fuel filter is a good idea to go before the fuel pump? I am for now, thinking of removing the intank screen via the hutch mod, then running an inline filter. At this point I am leaving the fuel bowl and filter in tact.
Any thoughts? Not looking for an expensive set up. Just something to get the job done.

I had the fuel pump drop pressure due to it picking up trash out of the tank. Didn't find out pump was not putting out correct pressure until I had some issues with the fuel injectors.

When I removed the pump it was full of trash and it had damaged the pump.

Here is a a picture of the inline fuel filter mod I just completed.

I did one like that. I think I got it from diesel site ?

If you're doing pre pump, I'd do a water separating filter.

If your leaving the stock fuel bowl and filter then I don't think the large water separater or filter is necessary. You could use a wix Inline filter. I used one from napa for a while before I did a complete RR. I'll scrounge through my old thread to see if I can find the part number.

Wix 33270. Cost like $8 for me. All your doing is replacing the screens from the tank to a replaceable filter so it should be more than enough pre-pump filtration.

i have considered doing the same thing except i thought about doing a sump. it should be better for factory setup and then would be there for full RR down the road. would the tank need to be dropped to do a sump?
