Filter before electric fuel pump?

Im working on getting my 87 6.9 up and running again. It has sat for about a year after i bought it and the Mr. Gasket pump that was on it has died so im putting a Airtex on it that i bought and im thinking of mounting it down on the frame. Should i put some sort of filter in between the pump and the tank or just keep the stock fuel filter in the engine compartment? Thanks

Not sure about the Airtex, my Carrier has a metal screen filter in its fuel bowl to catch and debris. If mine did not have this screen I would run a filter before it.

Easy to Install-Easy to Service: Two bolt mounting makes installations easy. Nothing to adjust. The pump is self-priming to 120 inches (3.0 m). Vertical mounting is preferred to assure maintenance of rated pressures. The transparent housing allows for visual capability to monitor the cleanliness of the stainless steel filter.
