This is for an '81 having the tank with smaller outlet but....

I found no difference in pump cavitation noise running an OEM type pre
pump filter or not. (I'd installed a post pump filter like the later
models). So with a tank having a larger outlet, I'd think adding a
filter would not cause the pump to get noisier or become noisy due to
cavitation.

The Vanagon Bosch fuel pumps I've looked at all had a mesh screen near
the inlet. From what I saw, it's not intended to be a fine particulate
filter.
