The service kit for the M25XPB engine included an 80 micron in-line fuel filter Part # 48076. This is to be installed on the inlet to the electric fuel lift pumps manufactured after December 2002. Has anybody installed this on pre - December 2002 engines and is this really necessary. I don't understand why newer pumps need this but Westerbeke say that older ones do not.

Not familiar with that pump, but it may be that the older ones (possibly a different manufacturer) had a built in filter?
If you have a good primary before the pump.. like 30 micron sized in above post.... it would not be necessary to have another filter, that wouldn't catch anything, in the system.

You have the newer "cube style" pump which takes the 80 mic pre-filter. The older "Gold Flo" pumps (round body) have an internal filter...
