FWIW, the Brazilian (California Imports) tank I installed on my '81 *likely* has an outlet screen under this: http://sites.google.com/site/tubaneil2/InsideBraziliangastank.jpg I did not know enough at the time of install to look for a return filter. Do these less expensive Brazilian tanks have a return filter? My guess is that whatever debris is picked up (wearing fuel lines?) on return route to tank would typically be minimal, but this is just a guess. I'm only running a filter post pump. Neil.
