Preferably after the pump, it will then trap any bits of crud from the pump gears.

Yes, also try to have the solenoids down stream of the filter to keep them from collecting any bits of metal the pump gears may shed over time.

I don't use fuel filters. For about 7 years now.

You should place the filter between the pump, and the solenoidvalves.

You're welcome Marcelo, don't put the filter last in line before the turbine, you need it to trap any pump debris so it doesn't jam your solenoids open!
