Regulated return help............please

So I just finished the plumbing for the return with fuel bowl delete, my big question is that now the stock fuel bowl is gone I know I have to put in a satelite fuel filter, does it matter if I put it before or after the pump on the frame?

the filter setup i got from napa, easily accessible, however I do have a water seperator filter before the pump. Will adding a regular fuel filter pre pump cause any issues?

yeah my next investment is a fuelab pump, but as far as adding another filter pre pump will still be ok?

What. Micron? 2 may be a little much for prepump. Pumpz are made to push more than pull

You want to filter post pump. If your pump fails you could send debris through your injectors. Having a pr-pump and post pump is the best way to go.

I'm going to get another housing and filter next week and re-route and re-locate the pump and fuel lines. that gives me time to build a bracket for housings and machine a bracket for the regulator. she can sit for a week.
