Put it on the pump's pickup side, if it's too restrictive the filter will crush and NOT spray oil all over the shop. The reality being it's almost impossible to crush a filter, they are small and short and the only crushing force is ambient air pressure. Right?
Personally i'd put the filter " between the tank & the pump " , rather pick up any crud " before the pump / control valve / cyl " then after it's gone through everything .

Just letting you know the intensity of the bushfires down here in Australia .
This what's left of a BMW after it's been through a fire .
The snaking rivers that have run away from it are what's left of the engine block .

It's so hot that ..
the birds have to use pot holders to pull worms out of the ground.
the trees are whistling for the dogs.
ice melts in the freezer.
You know it's hot when the drop of sweat from your nose evaporates before it hit's the ground

Marc , stay safe mate , first sign of that fire coming to you i'd be heading for the river .
Like you I also live in a bushfire prone area , if a fire breaks out here this summer it'll make Black Saturday look like a single candle on a cake , 5 times this last year they told us here they where going to be doing fuel reductions , 4 time it was cancelled due to it was " raining " ( never heard why the 5th wasn't done ) In recent years I intended on staying , but with an ailing disabled wife I've had to make the hard choice of " leaving " at first sign of fire .
Maybe one day the people in-charge will heed the advice of the local native Australians & do the " fuel reductions & do it often " like they did before the white man came to " their " country .

Ohio , not used one myself , am looking into these types of units myself for producing wood " chunks " for charcoal production myself ( Using a " Hookway "
style retort but with waste cooking oil burner as a supply for my heat source ) .
There is a poster on YouTube " Made in Poland " who has 2 vids on a " Branch Logger " build he made ( 1 with build plans ) .
Sorry not much more of a help , but is a starting point for you anyway .
