What's the difference between an in-line fuel filter and a fuel filter that is mounted in the tank?

The primary difference between an in-line fuel filter and one that is mounted in the tank is that the in-line filter is typically smaller, more compact, and easier to install. It also requires less maintenance than a tank-mounted filter since it does not need to be replaced as often. Additionally, an in-line filter can provide greater protection against debris, water, and other impurities which may cause damage or clog up your engine.
