Default Fuel Filter?

Would someone please post a picture of their fuel filter set-up and let me know what size, brand, or part # (NAPA etc) they used.
Thanks

I ran across this at the local Autozone - I think it is made by Vizu?

They make a straight and the 90 - I didn't know which would work better but since all they had in stock was a 90 I went with that (the straight may work better but I did plenty of 80mph runs and have no fuel draw issues):

Yup, the one Warren suggests is the one to get. I made the mistake of putting a much larger one on that caused the fuel line to loop downward below the carb (float bowl) inlet level. I ran out of fuel about 1/2 mile after switching to reserve as the effective head in the tank on reserve wasn't enough to overcome the loop I had created. After that I put one on like Warren's and smiles ever since.

Fuel filter? is this a mod? My 09 never had one to begin with. But im careful and always have a full tank with seafoam in every tank.

There is a fuel filter attached to the petcock inside the gas tank (fine mesh screen).
