"*Big fuel filters are essential, especially for those with composite tanks*
."

I second that.  Just had to change out my nice looking Jegs Billet aluminum
filter (with a tiny screen disk filter inside) for Peterson 600 series fuel
filter.   This is the filter between tank and fuel pump, not the high
pressure one after the pumps.
