As everyone has said it is simply better to keep the tank clean to begin with. In fact that would be so even if you had the type of Filter you want.

I do not know what micron the mesh on the Fuel Tank Screen is but it looks larger than the 20 microns of the tiny Plastic Filter.
You of couse could replace it with another type of filter that has a similar mesh size. However, anything under the car could be subject to damage by something you run over on the Road.
If you do decide to put such a filter on it would be nice if it had a Drain on it.

Leave enough Hose on the Fuel Tank Side so that you can clamp off both sides of the Hoses when you change the Fuel Filter.
