I'm thinking to install a Professional Products canister type fuel

filter

Anybody familiar with these?

I'm feeding my FI system from a sump tank that has a sample drain, and

could

probably hold close to a quart of 'stuff' before it would get picked up

by

the pump.   I have seen/heard recommendations to put the filter ahead of

the

pump, and after the pump.  Which is the way to go and why?

Comments appreciated.

I had debre get in a mechanical fuel injection pump on a Mooney causing
the engine to quit. Fortunately I was able to glide to an airport.

I like a low restriction filter before the pump (gascholator screen is fine,
keeps the chunks out of the pump) and a good EFI fuel filter after the pump,
before the fuel rails.  This keeps the suction side pressure from falling
too low risking vapor lock.
