I don't know how fine one of those see thru ones are, but they don't have much surface area to begin with, and may impede flow. Most cummins in industrial applications use an inline FF5079, which is actually a fine screen, I don't know what the rating is on that, but it works good.

I had nothing between the tank and the pump and drove from here to Indiana, and was watching the fuel pressure drop all the way. I was getting pretty nervous by the time I got there. I pulled the inlet fitting and the screen was mostly plugged and the piston was scratched. I cleaned the screen but still never got back to the 16 or 17 psi I had when it was new.
