fuel filter for transfer tank

I have just installed my aluminum cross the box tank. I am going to plumb it into the vent line of the stock tank but I would like to put an in line filter on it. What kind of suggestins do you have that have worked without breaking the piggy bank. Where can I order them. This is a gravity feed system. Thanks

Something like the WIX 33123 would be a good filter for this app. You can use WIX base # 24309 with it... It should do a decent job of gravity feed if you can plumb it well.. .but you would be best off with a small transfer pump.

If you don't want to deal with a large filter than something like FF5079 (fleetguard) or WIX 33270.

fleetfilter.com has filter heads at a great price. Then you can use a spin on. I run 2, first a 10 micron fuel water sep filter then a 5 micron filter.
