Hello all--

I'm in the middle of changing the fuel filter on my '84 Westy and have hit a
stumbling block.  As it stands now, the old filter (a square plastic filter
installed by the previous owner--like those on my old air-cooled vws) is
connected between the fuel tank and the fuel pump.  My repair manual shows a
round metal cannister type filter (what I have now and am trying to install)
between the pump and the engine bay.  So, first question, on what side of
the fuel pump should the filter be installed?  But, this leads to another
problem.  If the filter should be installed between the tank and the pump,
then limited space between the tank and the filter require that that short
lenght of fuel line make some extreme bends.  If the filter should be
installed between the pump and the engine, then looks like I'll need to move
the pump toward the tank (there are two empty screw holes that seem intended
for just this) so as to make room on the other end for the filter.
Confusion.  If someone can tell me where the filter should be relative to
the pump, then I can probobly figure out the rest.

Many Thanks,
Seth Bruggeman
