[Gmecm] In-line fuel pumps with TBI

[David Allen]

  It's really important to have a strainer ahead of the pump. All it takes is ONE PARTICLE of crap to lock-up the pump permanently.
  Some pumps have a removable inlet fitting which is _just the right size_ to accept a faucet aerator screen.  These are a fine enough mesh to protect the pump, but not too fine to clog up.  It is just about the same mesh as the factory in-tank sock filter.
  I've used 3 pumps same as the ones used on a Ford Ranger, all have the faucet screen and never has there been a problem.
  Of course after the pump there is the "stock" GM inline EFI filter.
