Entity Anonymous Digest spoke thus: > I stand in amazement that any engineer at any level, would put the fuel filter > AFTER the pump. <blahblahblah> Right, I assume you're talking about a mechanical pump.

Most people would prefer the pump breakdown sooner than a sudden vapor lock on a hot day. The serious solution is to install an electric fuel pump under the tank.
