Default 87 Vert Fuel Filter(s) Change

I have the feed line replacement metal fuel filter ready to change and when I went to change it I noticed that I have an additional screw on fuel filter (like a little oil filter) mounted above it on the return line!

Anyone come across this before?

Keep your mouth closed when you change the filter....I learned that the hard way.

Doesn't do any filtering.
Was only put on to dampen vibration in the return line after customer complaints.
I deleted mine when I had new lines made up

That bit of info didn't make it into the FSM. Can't beat the human mind in storing all the fine points!

I think I read a previous post of yours and stayed well to the side.
