Thanks for the input! That plastic one is temporary so I can gauge how much debris is in the fuel line. This truck had not started in 10 years and it was FILTHY everywhere. So far it has collected a small amount of noticible particles that I can see inside it. The carb has the correct factory filter in it as well. I will get a metal one for when this truck is roadworthy. So I should move the inline filter between the gas tank and the pump?
