Pre-Fuel Filling Filtration.

While I understand the merits of fuel polishing of fuel in the tanks,
IMHO it would make good sense to have an additional fuel filter in place to remove water and debris prior to its delivery into the tank/s. For small fuel volumes there is the hand-held style of filter sold by Racor, but for larger amounts (2000 litres +)there would appear to be no pre-filter device. A standard fuel filter/water separator could presumably be fitted in-line after a small delivery tank and prior to a transfer pump which would be regulated on/off by the fuel in the said delivery tank.
Has anyone seen such a system marketed or made?
