In the fuel system, aeromotive recommends you run a 100 micron filter on the inlet side of the pump, and a 40 micron on the outlet. Magnafuel recommends a 74 micron on the inlet and 25 micron on the outlet. I run the magnafuel 25 on the outlet side only, I use stainless steel mesh, stay away from paper elements. Some question the fact that if the prefilter becomes plugged, the fuel pump has to pull through a restriction which causes cavitation with resulting fuel pump damage and other problems. I do not run the prefilter because, instead like others I use a funnel with a screen in the bottom when filling the jugs from the drum and filling the fuel cell. I realize the benefit of not using a funnel though, the problem with a funnel, it's a pain not to be able to see your fuel level while you are pouring.
As far as a inline filter on your actual jug hose goes, I don't know of anyone making one like that, but it would be nice. You might could rig up one if you could put a AN10 fitting on the jug hose and then attach one of these inline filters to it.
