"If you make your lines, then you can put the filter anywhere you wish."

In the very best of conditions, Jeeps that sit get condensation in fuel tanks and there are gremlins that add a half-teaspoon of crud to every tank of fuel we put in the vehicle.

I second the filter idea and for my 2-cents, put it on the input (tank) side of the fuel pump. That keeps crud out of the pump. I wasn't watching everything on the rebuild of the '48 and the filter on it is between the pump and carburetor. Yeah, that keeps crud out of the carb, but I'd rather catch it earlier than that.

It's April Fool's Day and we have the better part of an inch of snow on the ground in NE Indiana. Harumph .....
