I suggest that you contact a truck parts supplier about an inline fuel
filter and water separater. Theyare available with replaceable
cartridge filters. For a truck they may be about 12 cm diameter and
about 18 cm tall. These filters a designed to eliminate both very fine
particles AND water. They also have a water drain in the bottom. The
housing may be metal, glass, or plastic. Some filter elements are fuel
type dependent.

I think this would be far less risk to your vehicle than the "coffee
filter" idea.

GOOD LUCK ... and HAPPY MOTORING!
