I successfully mounted a Purolator 0-4psi electric pump on my '78 Midget,
and noticed in the instructions that it is recommended that a fuel filter is
installed before the pump.
I have a nice Purolator "see-thru" filter before the carb., but was
wondering if its really necessary to install one to protect the pump. I've
never seen anything in the "see-thru" filter in the past five years that I
could imagine would cause a pump to fail.
Also, since I've mounted the electric fuel pump underneath the car for
safety, (not in the trunk), someone suggested that I use a
motorcycle/jetski/waverunner fuel filter to combat the water and such
that will surely find its way to the pump area.
Please reply to me directly if convenient.
