One between the tank & the pump(elec or mech) would protect the pump(s) but it would need to be less restrictive as it is on the suction side and then a fine micron filter between the mechanical pump & the carb. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

(I did put a new filter sock in the tank)
