fuel filter names

The small plastic filter is called the primary in-line fuel filter.
The big metal filter is called the secondary fuel filter and costs more.
The screen filter in the fuel tank is the fuel strainer.

My 300d running on wvo has many plastic in-line filters and one oil filter/water separator in the engine compartment and I'm about to add another oil filter/water separator so I can reroute the lines when one filter fails so I don't get stranded on the road. You can never have enough filters.
