i learned the hard way that on electric it is best to run the filter after
the pump and run the pump as close as possible to the tank. if not it will
spit and sputter after you hammer it because the pump won't be able to catch
up for a second or two. so basically what will says.

One thing you have to remember about electric pumps is that they are better pushing fuel than pulling it. Most OEM installations put the pump very close to or inside the fuel tank and the filter afterward.
