My '86 had both. My '85 had only the inlet filter, so I added the large metal filter on the exit side. Inlet filter is critical with old rusty gas tanks. Noisy pumps usually are due to starving of inlet or plugage downstream. Jay

Speaking of the "suction-side filter," my vanagon (87, 2.1) only has the Bosch filter on the high pressure side (between the pump and the regulator / injectors). My interpretation of Bentley has been that some models have NO filter between the gas tank and pump. Am I wrong about this, and the PO removed it?
