Default RE: Inline Fuel Filter Options...

If you clean the system at regular intervals you are quite right. Even just the tank felt clunk as single filter would be sufficient then. BUT, if you do not keep your system that well, more filtering is required in order to keep the one most important, the suction line filter, from clogging.
Wiping the fill line clean, leaves lint particles on the fill line end which subsequently enter the tank on the next fill-up. Storing your stuff in a work shop with balsa dust inevitably gets dust into the fuel fill system. That's Murphy's paradise for sure.
Nothing to be anal about, as long as the internal carb filter stays clean. If it does not, its a wake-up call or a rap on the knuckle to pay heed better.
