Make sure the filters you guys are using are for gravity fed high volume applications. I have run into some fuel filters that were restrictive in low fuel pressure applications also causing starvation at higher loads. I have been using the filters for outboard motors with marine external tanks with good success.

Do you have more info on the filter you use? Make, part #. A search came up with a variety of filters. The photo shows a filter with threaded fittings. Would have to add Threaded fittings to fuel hose. Increasing the possibility of leaks, air suction. I wonder if filter location could be a issue as well.

I have used these filters before, in other applications. They do have threaded ends, but they come with the different size hose barbs. I have never had leakage issues with them, but I always use Teflon tape or a little pipe dope to seal threaded connections. You can get them at auto parts stores in the hot rod section, or a marine stores (more expensive there). If I still have issues with the current filter I'm using I will get one of these to test with. I'm still probably going to install an inline pump back near the tank. Sounds like these Onan pumps are just barely powerful enough to pull fuel all the way from the back.
