I had heard that it was not a good idea to put an inline filter before the fuel pump because you were adding a restriction in the line that the pump was not designed to draw fuel through. This could result in poor/restricted fuel delivery to the pump.

The better idea is to put the filter in the line between the pump and carb as has been suggested. The fuel is pressurized by the pump in that line and so there will be no problems flowing fuel to the carb.

And yes, stay away from glass filters. I ran a cheapie plastic Fram inline filter but even that made me (and others that saw it) nervous so I'm switching to an all metal Fram filter.

I did remove the filter in the carb when I added the inline filter, although others have kept both for the extra protection.
