You could never have too many filters, I suppose...

In my van, the PO has one before the fuel pump, one after, and 2 in the engine compartment. These are all the clear stock beetle types, and you can see the crud in them. I am putting in a new gas tank now, so will cut back to one before the fuel pump, and one in the engine compartment....I will continue to use the clear ones, for it is easy to keep them in the car and they cost $100 apiece.....easy fuel system fix.
