Installing fuel filter between tank and engine

Where do most of you put the inline fuel filter? do you let it play freely with the tubing on its way to the high end needle tit or do you secure it somehow? My tank connections (fuel and vent) are at the firewall interface and there is no room to place the filter in the tank compartment.
Suggestions? Thanks ahead of time...

Can you provide a link of a fueling valve product? Thanks

Same here, when I have a few on hand.

But this will break unexpectedly and cause air leaks that are a pita to find.

I triple filter my fuel on its way to the fuel tank. No need to carry the extra weight and failure points of a filter that should remain on the ground in the first place.

Great Advise Thanks... I'll put the in-line filter as close to the carb as possible. I'll disconnect the tank side of the filter for fueling ops. Sound ok?

What I will probably do is have a filter/strainer in the fuel bottle itself (klunk), in line after the pump ( in the fueling line) and finally in the tank itself (another klunk)... Sound about right? Thanks

I don't. In my experience, anything that restricts the fuel or air flow is detrimental to the power output and user-friendliness of the engine. I filter the fuel twice from the supply container: first, with a klunk filter, then an inline filter like you describe. Also, any extra connections, like a filter, are a place for fuel to leak out and air to leak in.

True, but it takes a Figure 9 maneuver to break it.

I did manage to wear one out, though. Spring got weak and wouldn't seal, which is I suppose why DuBro sell rebuild kits for their valves.

I don't use 'em.

I do, however, use one of the DuBro Sintered Bronze Filter Clunks at the end of my fuel jug pickup line, and always use one as my tank clunk.
They NEVER clog up nor do they interfere with engine operation.

Right up by the carb.
if you disconnect the fuel line to fill, you don't want to fuel back-wash through the filter and possibly leave residue on the downside of the filter.
So you disconnect at the tank side of the filter and fuel.

Some will scream and wail not to use an inline filter and others will do the same to use it. I use it to preclude that stuff that goes through the engine, into the tank via the muffler pressure and then back to the carb., uh for me the in-line filter.
Guess it's your choice. I have used a filter since my competition CL stunt days back in the '50-'60s.
Guess I always will.

If you use a fueling valve you don't have to disconnect anything, eliminating wear and tear on the tubing.

I use a felt chain saw filter in my gallon jug and a large Dubro filter in the line to the carb. I have never had a fuel metering problem. Dumb thumbs and bad luck are another story.
