After experiencing few stumbling problems(crud) in my Westy while ago i
added 1 more filter upstream from pump as shown in Bentley on page20.27.
It's one normaly used on air-cooled, white square plastic less than 5
bucks. Some Vanagons had both filters and some only one, large metal
canister type downstream from pump so all crud accumulated inside the pump.

Has been working fine for me 2 years now. Easy and cheap fix
