Regardless of where I put the filter I try to put it in a place I can get change it without using my sunday school words!
I'm running a V8 in my 52Panel with a new gas tank and I put a filter right where it comes out of the tank and I can get to easily. Maybe this will help you in some way.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
