Bryan,
It has been generally recommended that adding an inline fuel filter is
important, especially in an experimental plane just receiving its airworthiness
certificate. Minute fiberglass shards and other construction debris can
play havoc with components of the fuel system including carburetor fuel
regulation ports and injectors, if any.
However, in my injected system fuel takes the following path: thru a
coarse screen in the wings, finger strainer in the header, old Cessna
flushable gascolator with permanent filter, boost pump, engine pump, fine
filter in Bendix throttle body, thence thru the spider and injectors.
This has proved to be adequate filtration for my operation.

320/360 flyers. Are you using in-line fuel filters?
If so which ones do you recommend and where are you putting them?
I have the following set up:
wings feed header. Header feeds
engine. I can not feed from wings to engine. I have the Andair
Gascolator with fine screen but I want to know if I should put another filter
in place somewhere and if so
where.
Thanks
Bryan
