Bryan,

 

I use a header tank.  Therefore, I use an automotive cheap plastic filter on the lines from the wings to the header tank.  As a rule I add fuel through the wings 90% of the time.  This gives the fuel one filtration on the way to the engine.   I also have a gascolator down stream of the header.  I consider this the weakest point in the fuel system and probably would not have installed it were I to do it over again.  I never get water or dirt out of the gascolator with the fuel being filtered from the wings to the header.   The gascolator just looks like a fuel leak waiting to happen imo.

 

As far as those external gaskets are concerned I usually install them dry.

320/360 flyers.  Are you using in-line fuel filters?  If so which ones do you recommend and where are you putting them?  
I have the following set up:
wings feed header.  Header feeds engine. I can not feed from wings to engine.  I have the Andair Gascolator with fine screen but I want to know if I should put another filter in place somewhere and if so where.
Thanks
Bryan
