On my I4 conversion I have the big silver barrel shaped filter after the
pump and the small plastic box shaped filter before the pump.

This set-up probably saved me from much grief during the summer trip after
the engine conversion when we spent most of the time on gravel roads and
shook loose all kinds of old crud from the tank. The "pre-filter" clogged,
but I back flushed it with white gas and continued with no further probs on
our trip. When we reached civilisation I bought a new filter.
