I would say it depends on the condition of the tanks and lines. I replaced
my tanks with Cinnabar tanks in 2003 or so, and when I dropped them this
year, they were still spotless. I replaced my upstream inline filters at
the same time, and was able to blow through the old ones with nearly no
resistance.

There are many inline filters for 3/8" hoses, but I seek out those rated at
10-15 microns.

The AN-6 filter up by the carb is only 18" from the carb.
