And in spite of all the naysayers that are going to jump on this, I never was a fan of a fuel filter between the pump outlet and the carb inlet, especially those pretty see thru ones that come apart to clean. I always worried about the hose(s) connections leaking, or the hose failing. In my opinion, the best and least worrisome, were the filter on the end of the fuel pickup tube in the tank.
A filter between the tank and fuel pump would keep most crud out of the fuel pump too.
So the check valves can work better.
