If your going to install an external spin on type fuel filter which i am doing. I would think you would need to install it after the electric fuel pump so the pump doesnt have to work as hard. Pushing is easier than pulling (so the SOB's say). I am also installing an external spin on trans filter on the return side to get an extra qt. of oil in the system. If you are woried about water in the fuel you can install a tractor type bowl filter. I dont know if they can take the pressure. I have one on my tractor but they have a tendancy to leak if you dont center them up properly and it is gravity feed but the good about it is you can see whats coming out of your tanks.Dont think i want one one my coach too much of a fire hazard.

Carter P4070 electric fuel requires a filter before the fuel pump. I have used one for over 15 years and have only lost one. That was one that wouldn't withstand ethanol. I now have two pumps, one for each tank and a filter on each on the intake side and still have the carburetor filter installed. Works with no problem.
