alternative fuel/water separator

Hey guys, Ive found some cheaper fuel water separators on the interwebs that don't come with a lift pump. I saw some fram in line filters that are like $130 that just have barbed fittings on either end for a quick in-line splice. I figure I could get these and a raptor or equivalent for my truck and come out a little cheaper than an air dog or fass titanium. I'm on a budget, but I'm having contaminated fuel issues, and if I get the same result, why not right? Anyone out there done this before?

I have a big Donnalson water/ Fuel filter about 5 ft before my lift pump. Its a 12 MC and I have no issues with this setup. The factory filter last a long time this way. But my truck does have 1/2" lines from the tank to the VP44.
Lowest pressure was 9 lbs with factory pump pulling hard with a big load. But will be putting a new inline pump on this winter.
