Since you have to poke it through a little hole to fit it, the genuine strainer would be the only way to go in the tank, either second hand or brand new. You could risk going without or you could make something more suitable, all three options are preferable to using a filter.

In hydraulic fitter world, strainers go before pumps, filters go after. If you put a filter in front, the pump will quickly die from cavitation. Imagine if you replaced the strainer on your oil pump with a filter, the oil pump gears would never get any oil & the pump would die. It runs at the same sort of load as your fuel pump.
