In-Line fuel filter Vs. In-Tank fuel filter?
Hi,
My MCD MT came without fuel filter, I would like to add one but I am not sure what should I get:
In-line fuel filter or In-tank fuel filter?
If the fuel filter will be in-tank it will have less accessibility in case I will need to clean it but it will be more protected, a in-line fuel filter will have better accessibility but it might cause to more leakages around its connections & it might block a bit the fuel supply since on the line I will have both the in-line fuel filter & a weight in the tank.
Any suggestions? Recommendations?
Thanks.

Thanks, but is it really better than having the fuel filter in-tank? The in-line filter might reduce the fuel flow to the engine because I will have 2 “restricting elements” on the line to the engine: one is the weight in the tank & the other is the filter in-line, it can also cause to some leakages around the connectors, seems too complicated than just having one filter in-tank, any recommendation???

THe MCD's come with some kind of steel clunk, I removed mine and ran new tygon fuel lines with the Zenoah style in tank clunk you have in the picture, that is the best one you can install in my opinion.

Thanks guys! I decided to go with only one filter (I think it is enough…) I will go with the in-line one for better accessibility & handling
