REFLECTOR:Fuel Filter?

I would install the filter before the auxiliary fuel pump.

I used a Airflow Performance #1090079 stainless steel screen fuel filter
http://www.airflowperformance.com/airframe.htm which is a bit pricey at
about $125 but required by them to warranty their high pressure fuel pump
required for the Lycoming IO360 Bendix fuel injector system.

With your set up, I would use one of the metal body paper fuel filter from
your local auto parts store at about $5.  Change it at 25, 50, hours then
annually.
