I think the '86+ had some kind of screen in the tank?    My '85 had only
the plastic filter before the pump. ( I would rather change the plastic
filter once in a while.)   I added the large metal filter after the pump.
Usually any addition VW makes must be for a good reason--they are too
"thrifty" to add it out of the goodness of their heart.  Does your '85 not
have a filter before the pump?  If your fuel pump whines, it is probably
starved for fuel at the inlet.

Is this SO?  Would this be the case with my '85 as well?
*Why*  would a fuel filter be so placed?
