I thought about doing this when I was putting my fuel system together. I may end up installing a pre filter to protect the pump from trash. You never know what the gas station is going to give you.

Ya, unfortunately a filter isn't going to take ethanol out of gas, and thats the biggest crap they give you. I didn't run one before because I heard of issues involving restriction and pre-filters. Most of the aftermarket filters aren't designed for fuel injection (unless you look at the $$ ones), and are subject to collapse or restriction when trying to supply the fuel at the pressure we need.

255lph pumps aren't expensive and easy to replace, and it takes a pretty good amount of crap to kill a pump.

Okay, My bad that filter IS installed after the pump. My mistake. You must have it mounted on the driver side? I was thinking that is a pre pump filter. me dumb

My main filter is off the rear of the frame before the pump, tho I need to install a bigger pump and may relocate. I also have another filter before the carb.

I was planning on running my filter on the drivers side to ease in installation and simplicity. I saw that street and performance mounted the fuel filter on drivers side of 85 c10 LS2 swap at customers request.

Actually ,its on the rear cross brace for the bed. So it runs horizontally, across the brace, then turns to follow the frame towards the front.
My frame is c-notched so there wasn't really room in the frame rail to access the filter and pump setup.
