I always put an inline filter between the tank and the fuel pump on every rig I set up. That is after loosing a Fuel pump on I 90 in the middle of Montana due to picking up grit after forgetting my gas cap at a gas station at Grand Titon park. i coasted down hill for miles with the engine off to get to Whitehall were a kid sold me his fuel pump he had bought for his 55 Chevy as he was putting the 55 in storage because he was going into the Navy the next week.

From experience there is no set limit to when the crud quits breaking loose in a gas tank. On my 71 GMC I changed a lot of fuel filters before I finally got things sorted out. You could flush it again but I'd just put the filter in the line and carry extra filters.
