Fuel filters do serve a real purpose. Fuel is not always clean when it is
delivered to stations, nor are station storage tanks necessarily debris
free. Most pumps do not filter fuel either. So, if you rely upon the carb
inlet filter exclusively to deliver clean fuel, expect it to require
service. Carry spares. If you use an electric auxiliary fuel pump, most of
them require a pre filter as well.
I guess that it comes back to periodic maintenance. Air filters, fuel
filters, lug nuts, tire pressures, lubrication, oil changes, walk around to
check lighting, etc. Pretty necessary on 40 year old vehicles.

Seems tanks are either opperating room clean or nasty. If clean, you don't
need add-on filters (added fail or fire risk) and if the tanks are nasty
due to dirt in filter evidence, they need to be dropped and corrected.
