Wink -8AN Feed for Dual Intank Walbro 450's. Fuel Filter Question

I'm getting ready to to install an upgraded fuel system on my turbo car this weekend. Below is the overview of parts and a quick Visio I put together.

My one question is on Fuel Filters. Do I need or should I /can I run both a 100 Micron and 10 Micron fuel Filters inline for the feed? I have purchased both but wanted to make sure this wont affect flow.

-8AN Feed
-6AN Return
-Dual Walbro Intank 450 Pumps. One on Hobbs at 7psi.
-100 Micron and 10 Micron Filters
-Holley Rails
-Aeromotive Boost reference FPR
-All Fragola Line and Fittings.

Thank you.

Generally, place a 100 micron filter before the pump, and a 10 micron filter after the pump.

With an external pump I agree, but with them sumped in the tank in the stock bucket, it's cant be done. Wasn't sure if it would help to have both filters post pumps.

Does your pump not have the nipple for the pre filter?

With the pump being intanks, it goes from the sock to the pump then converted from a hose to -8an line. It then runs up to the rails. No provision for it pre-filter.

The sock is the pre-filter

In that schematic, no need for that 100micron filter, just go with the 10.

I ended up putting both in line. The 100 near the pump and the 10 by the rails. Perfect fuel pressure.

If you are running e85 wouldn't you want -10AN feed?
