Nice job. Since I have yet to move my filter, I'm going to take a look at where you put yours. Maybe do the same. One thing I'm not sure of on yours - can you see the filter to see if it has water in it?
Also as far as locating the filter before the pump, like someone said, with the tank so much higher it's all gravity fed down to the pump so the lift pump really just needs to lift the fuel up to the engine. Same as with the OEM set up.

Thank you. Yes you can see the filter if you kneel down and look up under the floor board.
My filter took the place of the first filter, the lift pump and second filter were left in their original place and function.
On the issue of knowing when water is in the bowl, Parker/Racor makes water probes that go in the fuel bowl and several styles of buzzer or light detection modules........... may be a project for another day! http://www.parker.com/literature/Racor/10219_Rev_B_120A_and_120B_Series.pdf

I bought one of these Racor filter funnels also when I bought the filter, so the fuel will already be 1x filtered before it gets to the onboard filter. I haven't tried it yet. I bought the smallest one it is just slightly larger than the fuel tank opening so it won't fall in.

My plan is to locate the Racor just forward of the secondary filter, on a raised bracket using an already existing hole location and drill a second one. Bracket will mount to inside of frame, so filter will clear cowling. A little longer line run, but think it should still work.
