You could, but that involves cutting those nylon lines and use quick disconnect fittins on the ends, it's not that hard, you'd have to warm the lines up so you could slip in the fittings, ( for our repair kits you have to soak the lines in hot water for 10 minutes) but IMO, how often do you change the filter? so it wouldn't be worth goign through all that trouble to put in a filter that doesnt get replaced as often as other filters.

As for where your other filters at, did you ever smell fuel under there? and also check the O-ring, that might of went bad ( I'm not 100% sure if there is one on that fitting, it's been a while since I replaced mine, but I think there was) If theres not O-ring, make sure the threads are ok.
