Let me try to ask it a different way. Once the fuel makes it to the engine compartment, what is the correct order or sequence for the fuel filter and fuel vapor separator to be mounted.

I currently have a fuel filter then the fuel pump then fuel vapor separator followed by the carbs. (fuel lines in between).

Is it okay to have the fuel filter before the fuel pump or will that restrict fuel or should that be after the fuel pump?

I know the fuel vapor separator is supposed to be between the fuel pump and the carburetors.

Thanks, Rob.
