The short answer.. NO! The carb filters have far too fine a filtering media. IE:
10micron.
The prefilter micron rating should be NO less than 40.. Some pump mfgrs look at 70 to 100 as being OK.
The after pump filter[s] should be 10 micron, w/ enough flow capacity to handle the volume.
I use the Aeromotive, stainless cartridge filters as a pre-filter, and the paper elements after the pump.
The restriction that the carb filters cause, can/will create cavitation in the inlet of the pump.. That will do 2 things:
1.Destroy the pump.
2. Create enough vacuum to cause the fuel to boil.
