Well I dont think u want to mess with the intake fuel filter, and I'm not sure if there is an inline but yeah you could put one in just about anywhere. But the filter in the tank is all 1 unit(filter,pump,sending unit).so if u take it off the pump, it's just that more of a chance to screw up the whole pump-250-300bucks since I bought one. "If it aint broke, don't fix it!"
