Grit for the tiny cost of an โin-lineโ filter and the costly repairs that come with injectors it is a cheap cautionary thing to do.
Regarding filtering from the pumps. From my experience, yes they do sell us dirt. The sooner you catch it the better.
I have filled at some stations where the flow is extremely slow. Why do you think that is? Iโd suggest plugged filters drawing **** from the bulk tanks.
All my fuel goes into auxiliary tank.
I have seen dirt right in the fuel line fittings at the injectors on a Duramax.
You canโt be to careful when it comes to the need for clean fuel in todayโs trucks.
What you're saying is you don't trust the OEM filtration on your truck.
No idea what truck you have, so that could be a valid concern, but really only on the small end of particle sizes. Appears you're using a halfway decent filter (4 micron nominal), but there are far better options for filters than a little filter like that one meant for gas engine cars.
What micron rating filter(s) are in your truck?

We cut them to achieve a flat bottom. Then use 3/16 aluminum plate for the bottom.
When we cut them open we find โdirtโ and other **** that can only come from the purchase fuel at commercial pumps.

FWIW, when I towed a 39' FW, I found the added aux tank (mine was a 65 gallon) was just about the best investment I made for RV'ng. Since we would almost always go out to dinner on overnight stops, never had to worry about stopping for fuel and would just fill up each evening. IIRC, I had (based on stock tank, extra tank, towing mileage) about 1300 miles that I could go between fillups. Made for a very pleasant 5-6-700 mile day, which was about the limit of what I wanted to drive in any case.

Most of my trips are 100 to 300 miles, we stay a week and return. I don't have to refuel on the road and wait until I'm home for less expensive fuel. After 3 years I figure the tank has paid for itself in fuel savings. From now on out, it is money in my pocket. The tank is a very good add, as I never stress about low fuel on the road.

Just be certain to install an โin-lineโ filter between auxiliary tank and main tank.
I use a 3481 inline filter.
It has threaded fittings on each end so you can adapt to any size hose you use.
Whatโs the point of that? Do you use an inline filter between the fuel pump nozzle and the filler neck on the OE tank?
Is fuel dirtier if you put it in an aux tank?

If you are doing back to back to back travel days...sure.
If you stop for 2-3 days between runs, not being limited to truck stops is nice.
Huh?
Would seem easier to get fuel if you were laying over for days because youโd very likely unhook.
Do you unhook every night on back to back driving trips? ( unless something requires you to like too short of site or canโt level up)?
Last thing Iโd want to do is unhook just to hook back up 6-8 hours later.

If you want more capacity get a TITAN 50 gallon replacement tank. Then you still have room for a toolbox.
What is DSI ?
DSI = Diesel
DS โLโ is diesel but never heard of anyone using an upper case โIโ.
