You might consider putting the filter between the Pingle petcock and the electric shut-off. As for filters, I just used an automotive unit, the filter I used is like the one Redeye has in their kits. I installed the Dan Marc right after it with a short piece of hose separating them.

When I replaced my fuel lines, I reused the oem tee.  3/8" fuel line + oem clamps work great at the tee and carb banks and petcock nipple. 

When we put a Pingle in Six Guns IS, we needed a screw type clamp to get the 3/8" sufficiently tight at the Pingle.
