............you can place the filter between the UAT and the main tanks (for peace of mind ), that way you have at least some filtering going on on your engine feed line............
all that would do is trap any crud in the filter as you filled the tank, then as you ran the turbine that crud would be flushed from the filter into the UAT, not exactly the ideal location for a filter
I know, I only meant for one flight to try to isolate the fault. Besides the fuel tank should already have a filter in it. The location I suggested was to try to trap any grind from the main tanks.
