The first time I crawled under my '85, there were two filters, as described
below. I've kept both, just because if I removed the first one between the
tank and the pump, that's exactly when the crud stuck in the tank will
invade my pump. They're cheap enough, there isn't any harm in keeping it
there. at least, none that I can think of...
