fuel filters Do you need to run a fuel filter on both sides of the pump? Even though I have a screen on the pickup in the tank? Also, do you need a sump or can the Mallory 110FI pump pull the gas through from the top if I mount it lower than the tank?

Re: fuel filters On my setup I ran the Aeromotive A1000 with a 16 gallon feul cell. Inside the cell I put a sock from an intank GM pump on the bulkhead adapter instead of buying a $90 filter from aeromotive. I also have a 10 micron filter on the outlet side of the pump.
In my experiance pumps don't last too long when using a pickup style feed. I would put a cell in or put a sump in your factory tank.

A fuel filter is designed to remove debri in th micron size. You need a "fuel filter" in addition to the in-tank screen!

Re: fuel filters John,
My question was whether or not I needed 2 filters. I am aware the screen is not a filter but I thought you could filter the fuel with a 10 micron pre pump and nothing after pump. Mallory recommends 40 micro pre pump and 5 or 10 micron post pump.
Thanks for the replies.
