Kev, You know way more about what you're doing than I will ever know, but the reference to a glass filter caught my eye. I take it this pump will be by the tank, and the filter will attach to the line by the frame rail. A glass bowl type filter would be in a dangerous place there. I have put the same setup on an old Dodge, and used a clear plastic barrel type in-line filter. Easy to see if it's gummed up.
If you're concerned about water, which a bowl would trap, you can always plumb a bowl up in the engine compartment, if there isn't one there already.
Those glass bowls are tough, but if a rock or piece of metal happens to get thrown up hard while driving...
This may not apply to your application, but I thought it would be good information to share for anybody doing fuel line/pump/filter work.
Got any new pics?
