For me there is one before and one in/at the fuel pump. Is it
possible to have too many filters and impede flow? <br>

Mark, We're on the same page. I've been contemplating doing
that very thing. That would be two filters before the electric
fuel pump and one after, so no debris should get to the carbs.<br>

How about an in-line fuel filter installed before the fuel
pump? I've installed a clear plastic one so that I can see
when it is getting fouled. My car is running again but not
quite back on the road (still dealing with the DMV and a few
bits) so I am not sure how well said filter will work. <br>

If you read the report about Moab, then you
learned of my difficulty with a fuel filter.
I learned a lesson and want to pass along what
I learned.<br>
<br>
As we drive our LBC's, many things can and do
happen. I had replaced my mechanical fuel
pump for an electric pump. This resolved a
couple of problems I was having, the worst of
which was vapor lock when the ambient
temperature gets into the 90's.<br>
<br>
What I failed to realize, or forgot, is that
the electric pump has a filter that is located
between the gas tank and the pump. It is
actually part of the pump, screwing into the
body. It's sole purpose is to keep bad stuff
from the gas tank from getting into the pump
and causing problems. (failure) The filter is
a simple $4 replacement that can easily and
quickly changed. This is now part of my
yearly tune up in the Spring, along with oil,
oil filter, etc. To check the filter, you
must remove it from the pump, so it is the
perfect time just to replace the filter with a
new one.<br>
<br>
Attached is a picture of the residue that I
removed from the filter when I replaced it.

what Rich knocked out, by the side of the
road! Our LBC's are pretty tough, but we
should not subject them to tests like I did!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks to Rich for the instant diagnosis and
repair, (knocking enough of the blocking
material out) I was able to continue with just
a few minutes down time. Thanks again, Rich.<br>
