I too have the inline filter and I think it is before the fuel pump.? It is a plastic one.

?

Checking the resistance through the range from ‘’full’’ to ‘’empty’’ was one of the first things I did after removing the sensor from the fuel tank.? I wanted to make sure it was in spec and it was.

Exactly Ted.

On my Torino I put one of those glass inline filters in the engine compartment. The placement of it is where the line just comes out of the apron in front of the drivers side shock tower. just BEFORE entering the fuel pump. It is placed such that it is suspended in mid air & WON'T hit or touch anything) & is far enough away from any real heat (like the exhaust manifolds). I have extra replacement filter cartridges in the trunk for it IF/When needed. My carb (an Autolite 4100) also has an inline screw in metal filter with nipple that the rubber fuel line connects to. This is AFTER the fuel pump.

Gary I also HIGHLY & STRONGLY suggest that while you have the sender out, you TEST BOTH the "Empty" & "Full" position of the float with ohm meter readings in both positions. I say this again (like I stated before in your previous thread), that the resistance if off/not correct WILL cause the Fuel Gauge to NOT read as it should when it should.

I put a new sending unit in my Montego and the filter fell off as I was installing it. they sure don’t make them like they use too. I installed two of those plastic clear filters on it. one from the fuel line coming into the engine bay just before it goes into the fuel pump so that you can see any crap that might be coming from the gas tank. also put a second one on the fuel line going into the carb. I like the plastic clear filters better than the glass ones. cause a friend of mine had a glass one on his 49 Mercury and it exploded one night on his way to a show and the car caught fire,by the time the fire dept. got there it was half way gone. total lose. very nice Mercury gone cause of a cheap part. I took the glass one off of my Torino and have been using the clear plastic ones now for 15 years or more. I replace them every year peace of mind and cheap insurance for all my cars. I pick them up at the swap meets for two for $5 they cost close to that for one at the auto parts store. I even use smaller ones on my two lawn tractors. HAPPY NEW YEAR to EVERYONE have a Great & Healthy one IN 2020!!!!
