People will have to answer that for themselves. I would not want to have an unexpected filter change a filter on the roadside on some cold winter minus degree /rainy/sleeting day and I sure would not want to be on a boat in a storm (when I need to mantain control of the boat) having to change a fuel filter.
Cost:Electric fuel pump $30-40, filter setup (depends on what you want, could be around $40 for a filter base and what ever a spin on filter cost), hose say $1 a foot and 2 Ts. One T tees into the fuel line before it goes into the primary filter the other tees into your noremal ruel return line. I think it could be done for $100 or less.
Added: If the secondary filte also was plugged the road side change gets a little more complicated as some folks have trouble bleeding their system of air.
