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.
