Hello Clois,

Not sure what you mean by "in front of my
electric fuel pump".

If you meant gastank -> filter -> pump then it might be a good idea to go with a 100 micron filter instead of the 10 micron.

If you meant gastank -> pump -> filter you should be OK.

Reason for this is that with EFI (admittedly a different situation ) the 10 micron filter can increase the likelihood of cavitation at the pump inlet due to pressure drop across the filter. Might not be a factor with a carb setup but thought I'd raise the point just in case. The 100 micron filter operates at a lesser pressure drop, and the 10 micron should give nice protection between the pump and the engine.

Offered with good intention ,

Tom
