Thanks Craig and Max for the informative replies. I went without a
pre-filter again. The tank doesn't have much crap in it, just a little bit
of silt I noticed when I was tipping it out fully empty. I'll pay close
attention to my fuel filter and see if it sounds like it's churning on
anything unfriendly. The next time I run out of gas I'll think about adding
a filter.  =)

Cheers,
Peter
