One problem to consider when choosing a location for the in-line fuel filter,
is how to clean the unit without dumping fuel inside the aircraft.

In my IV-P, I finally placed the filter under the copilots floor, between the
fuel valve and the fuel pump.  Since there is an unused port on the fuel
valve, I intend to introduce some low pressure air into the system with the
gascolator drain open;  which should empty out both the filter and the lines.
 Then the filter can  then be removed for cleaning without dumping any
residial fuel inside the plane.

I have not tested the system out yet since I am finalizing all inside work,
including the door,  before glueing on the top and bolting on the wings.  
Hope this helps.
