The round metal filter goes between the fuel pump and the engine. The white square filter goes between the fuel tank and fuel pump.

I believe that the Vanagons that were sold in Ca have both (the Westy that we have that came from Ca does), but the non Ca models have just the metal filter.

Hope this helps, Howard hfleming@moosebird.com
