I agree that if you already have all those filters, there is no point in the in-line 
filter. It just adds weight, clutter, expense, and 2 additional connections into 
the engine compartment.  

Bob Hoover points out that it is the added weight of the inline filters (they're 
heavier when filled with gas) that often contributes to pulling the fittings out of 
the carbs.
