fuel filter location

Hi Fred

I've been told that on or as close to the rail as possible is best as 
you want to keep the pressure at the rail/injectors constant so that 
the fuel mix is consistent. The further it's away from the rail the 
more inconsistent the pressure will be due to flexing rubber lines, 
pump serges, warm days, phase of the moon etc...

I'm sure that just because it isn't on the rail doesn't mean it wont 
work, it just might not be working as well as it could then again in 
your application it may make no difference at all. It's like they say 
"If it works why fix it" :-)

Cheers
