There is not much pressure driving flow of fuel into the pump (it's
easier to blow than to suck...), so the conventional wisdom seems to
be to use a very coarse pre-filter, if anything.  Good write-up here:

FWIW, I've been having some hesitation on acceleration, and after
eliminating most other possibilities, my current best guess is that
it's a fuel supply issue.  Planning on replacing pre- and
post-filters, and my dented fuel tank in the next couple of
months...will report.

Like Neil, I've also experienced contamination due to a failed seal on
my expansion tank.  There is definitely some stuff in my pre-filter I
wouldn't want to go in my pump.

Bonus AAGH! of the day:  Discovered yesterday my CV boots contained a
lot of water, likely from getting stuck in a stream in August.  Trial
by, uh, water, for Red LIne CV-2!

About to dig into my loose steering column,
