From my positive experience with a front mounted fuel filter/water separator I think the greatest benefit is fuel cooling. Certainly it is good to have an additional really large fuel filter as well, but with only one very brief vapor lock issue in 3400 really hot miles from sea level to nearly 5,000 feet something helped. Mine is mounted just outboard of the brake cylinder on the foot well. Fuel is pumped (or pushed) from the tank selector valve to this large filter and from there to the mechanical fuel pump and up to the carburetor. Rubber lines going to the filter and from the filter to the fuel pump. Steel line (insulated) from the fuel pump to the carb.

Emery,
It can be frustrating trying to get technical info when you can't order by year, make and model.? Good point about the ethanol/water absorption.? I bought a NAPA 4770 filter adapter to use the extra ports for a fuel temp sensor.? They couldn't answer the fuel compatibility question and finally wrote me up as a "problem incident".? Finding the right filter that fits on the adapter and in the allotted space has been tougher than I thought.
Thanks for your help,
JP
