Sam,

Your point well taken. I was sloppy to say the standard Vanagon config
and I knew there are significant changes over the decade or so of
Vanagon evolution. My Digifant has a filter downstream of the fuel pump
and same with many other fuel injection vehicles.

Vince,

It isn't that simple and there isn't a  "Vanagon's standard
configuration."

For gas engines, the filter is before the pump, as per Bentley for: AC,
p 20.2 - 20.3 and 20.4 Digijet, 20.16 - 20.17 and 20.18,  both the small
plastic cube like filter,

but there are two filters shown for the Digifant,  the standard small
plastic one before the pump and the larger canister type after it:

Bentley, 20.26-20.27, except that the Syncro only is shown with one, the
canister type after the pump, 20.34.

OK, equal time, the filter, very different, is before the pump in a
diesel, 20,10.
