Fuel filter for pressurized fuel system

I have a ‘56 30hp outboard and was wondering if an external fuel/water filter would be prudent with all the ethanol issues. The fuel linens from the tank look to be in great shape but they’re pre-ethanol. Should they be replaced to avoid ethanol issues.
Thanks for any input.
 
Sir, just keep away from the ethanol......run for the hills, brother. It has no place in that motor.
 
That’s what I gathered from reading more about this topic. They sell racing fuel in my area that’s 94 octane but no ethanol. Pricey but better than the other option. Thanks for the input.
 
Thank you for your responses. I’m learning a lot. The boat this motor goes on is a ‘49 Thomson TVT. Putting a new motor on it seems sacrilegious, so I’m determined to get the Sea horse running.
Thanks again.
