after the petrol pump in cars that have a Lucas electrical fuel pump. Other
prefer the filter as near the fuel tank as possible, i.e. between tank and
fuel pump. Car with mechanical pumps often have the fuel filter under the
bonnet just before the fuel pump. This is not the best place because of under
bonnet heat.
