I installed a secondary Stanadyne FM100 2 micron water seperator with built in heater when I replaced my injection pump along with all the engine bay fuel lines. The install thread is below.

I had to drop my gas tank to replace the lines (or what was left of them) that go between the tank and frame rail steel lines. I also wanted a way to prime the system during filter changes without going with an electric pump this time around. I also needed to replace my leaky fuel pump so I ordered up a genuine AC Delco unit from RockAuto for around $30. I saw this as a perfect opportunity to install a matching FM100 primary filter unit.
I cut the steel fuel line which comes up on the passenger side frame rail. I bent it up at an angle and put a slight flare on it for some rubber line. I then mounted the FM100 on the front battery hold down bracket using some left over angle stock. If I have to change the battery, I have more than enough slack on all the flex line.
The fuel line I used on the gas tank is Tygon which is pretty much bulletproof as far as fuel is concerned but does not like high heat. Someone on SS told me not to use it in the engine bay. Since I had so much laying around, I figure I will give it a try on my gas tank. The nice thing about it is I can manually prime my primary filter until I see most of the air bubbles on the return line go away. Then I know she is ready to fire up.
