Close to gas tank, siphon feed, water fuel seperator (between tank, and
pump),
filter by pump (on engine side).
Always remember fuel is a heat magnet.  I sucks the heat out of everything
near it.  I like Mallory's, replace brushes at 35,000 miles, and pump at
60,000,
that the interval that has worked for well over 100000 miles for me.
