A fuel filter should be fitted at all times, The usual place for it is 
just 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.
