Default Fuel Filter Question Part 2

I just purchased an inline fuel filter for my rc10gt and as I was getting ready to install it I noticed that there is a built in gold filter in the gas tank allready. Should I still install the line filter or is that overkill? The one that is built into the tank now looks similar to this one:

Thanks!

I don't really trust in-tank filters enough to run withought a secondary filter. I'm not sure how well that one filtrates, but to be safe I would use the in-line filter. Although it is your choice.

I personally like this kind:

It really works well. Just cut your fuel line, and connect it in between.

He has one kind of like that, but he is debating if he is going to use it along with his stock, in-tank filter.

My friend with a gt says why bother with another once since the tank has one already. Right now, I'm not worried about it but in a few months, I might get one.

Thank you for the help!

And yes, rccars411 I realize those are for clunk tanks but I have one built into my RC10gt fuel tank that looks similar to it.

Thanks!
