While on the subject of fuel filters I'd like to suggest a type that has a bypass function.
  These are used in racing and I'll bet Lynn will attest to these.
  Recently when my fuel tank began to disintegrate in flight and the debris suddenly plugged the filter, the fact that it was able to automatically bypass enabled me to fly the aircraft back to the airport (albeit under reduce power).
  Otherwise it would have been a total engine failure and probable destruction of the aircraft.
I am now installing 2 of these by-passable filters. One after each fuel pump just to be safe.

In auto installations the pump in tank has a screened inlet and then filter someplace between the pump and the injection system.  The plane has a gascolator and do I place the pump next like auto installations, then into the filter like the auto installations, or why not.  JohnD
