Default Dual filter setup pix sought

Sooo last trip I bought 5 new jerry cans went to the HESS station where
there is most always a line for the diesel. The pump has a spin on filter at
the hose. Went home topped off the tank, looked into the can and there were
black flakes in the bottom. There is NO clean fuel.
What is the racor 1000 rated to flow? I think my 500's can handle the one
gallon / hour I need with a 2micron filter. The lift pump on my perkins is
not hooked up I will have 2 walbro 6802's with 2 facet pumps mounted nearby
as spares.
Is there any downside to having more pressure feeding the injector pump. I
think the pumps I have may go to 7psi?
Tell me more about the "desiccant vapor trap on the vent" sounds like
something my redundantly paranoid self needs.
