I pour mine right back in. Of course, I'm shameless when it comes to using Mr. "D's" machine to rid myself of used engine oil and various cooking scraps.

Anyway, if you clean the area around the plug, and collect the fuel in a clean recepticle, further filtering seems like overkill. Anyway, when it goes back into the tank it will have to go through all three filters before hitting the IP.
