I have been following this thread, and I have a comment to make. Where Ron is
suggesting to put the filter would be easy to get to, but there is one problem
with this location. The filter would be very close to the engine, and all of
the heat it makes. I did this on an older car, and it liked to boil the gas out
of the filter when ever I turned off the engine. The way the Dakota's pump is
at the gas tank it might not matter, but it is something to think about. You
should also watch the position of the filter, some are supposed to be
horizontal, and won't work very well if they are not.
