See-through filters
When i do the in-tank Hutch mod i want to add a see-through filter between the tank and the rail pump. I want to put it just before the pump.
Brand and PN suggestions?

I got mine from napa bk 7309562. 3/8 inch i/o. Here is a pic of it installed: bk 7309562 (Napa fuel filter) picture by galexander - Photobucket
I would like to install a shut-off valve. Maybe something like this would work: Amazon.com: Earl's 230501 Chrome Plated Brass Shut Off Valve: Automotive
Not sure if that one is rated for diesel?

Thanks for posting that up Dan! I looked up the shut off valve and was a little confused about the 1/8 inch part?

Holy Cow.. Thanks for letting me know.Grant.. I am sorry about that.. I see the error and the problem with purchasing 1/8 inch valve for 1/4 in hose barbs. I don't think that will work 
I updated. Should be 1wmn6

In the pic you have 1wml6. What is the difference between 1wmn6 and 1wml6. Looks like the only difference to me is the handle. We have a grainger here locally so I will have to pick one up.

This is the one Chris is using: Baldwin # BF7725 Primary Fuel Filter | Specialty metric screws for your motorcycle as well as Fuel, Lube, and Air filters for your car or truck.
I think it is a little smaller than 3/8 but he was able to get it to seal.

When i first put it on I put the valve on the fuel pump side.. That was a mistake. When i went to clean the screen the fuel poured out the tank end hose.. It was pouring out the tank like crazy.. So i swapped it to the tank side of the filter.. The amount of fuel that comes out of the fuel pump side is manageable and stops in a short time.

I have been using a Fram brand from Wally for years with no problems. It is not specifically diesel rated. I carry a spare as it is cheaper than a pump. I also have downstream filtering in the stock variety as that is cheaper than new injectors if the pump should poop out. The stock filter will flow a bunch.

Mike,
Glad to hear from you and chiming in. What is your opinion on that napa filter? Do you think it is adequate protection for the fuel pump?
