I run a similar pump and filter.

I believe the Water block also has a particulate filter built in, I would have to look again, but do not believe you need to run two.

I really like the water block filter, and although I got PO'd when It blocked, (twice, and they are done when saturated, no way to dry them out or anything) when I thought about the consequences of it not blocking I was a little easier to get along with.

You can buy the Wix filters with the WB off filter 1 cheaper then anwhere I have found.

The digital meter just needs to go in the flow, if it were mine, I would mount it after the filter.

If you make a long string of filters, meters etc, then yes, you should support them. Usually it is done simply by some sort of simple stand or support (I often use wood) and then just screw a pipe clamp (looks like a U with a hole in each end) over the pipes between the items to hold it securely to your stand.

My pump has a nipple coming out, then the WB filter, then the hose straight to it, but I am the only guy using it.

At work I have filter strings, several filter's long, and we support between each filter with a clamp.

Auto shut off is nice, but at home, where the wife and I (read, buyers of the fuel) are the only ones doing it, we pay pretty good attention.

If it was work, with multiple folks operating the pump, I would pay the extra money and have the auto shutoff.

Off to look at the websites and verify that the WB is also a particulate filter now

OK, little internet detective work and here you go, the filter is a particulate as well, but the down side is that if you go with the Goldenrod from DL the part is 15 micron instead of the 10 micron that is on their particulate only filter.

If you go with there spin on WB it has a 10 micron built in

Dutton-Lainson Company - Since 1886

That said, the Wix replacement part # 24042 has a 10 micron filtration rating, I buy mine from Filter 1 but I buy enough filters to make it worth while.

I happen to really like seeing the fluid in the bowl, one of the quickest and easiest ways of detecting problem fuel is too look at it, and that transluscent bowl is as easy of a way to do that as I know.

And please Mr. Brown, don't quote and counterpoint everything I just said, it just takes away from the info.
