Dave in Utah, the installation of a fuel filter before the fuel pump is a good idea. It filters the fuel before it gets to the pump and carb; thus, saving both from becoming contaminated. I don't know why the practice developed to have the filter between the pump and carb. To me, one before the pump makes much more sense. I installed a filter in the fuel line on the outside of the frame rail by the right front tire on my 115C. This location makes it easy to change. I do not have a filter between the pump and carb. Appearance=wise the under hood looks original. John
