I f I lived where you are I would agree, but this week we have seen -30'c, I use additves but still would like to run the fuel heater canister, I am more or less wondering if there will be a problem running the unit with no filter, will it work as it supposed to?

Lets start something here and now to ease confusion:
FASS = Fuel Air Seporations System
HPFP = High Pressure Fuel Pump AkA = FASS II; Baby FASS
SOOOOOOO FASS has filters....the HPFP has a "Rock Filter" (Prefilter)
The FASS Does not need the stock unit to filter. The HPFP Does. You can rig a heater if needed.....you may loose some pressure running it through the stock canister...but not enough to worry...unless you are pushing 800+ haha!

I am running the fass system thourgh my stock canister with out the filter in it. For the heater and water in the fuel sensor, don't know if I really need them but got them. I cut the top outer ring off the old fuel filter and use it as a gasket between the housing and the top.

Something to think about
I am using my original filter also.The fass pump is a rotory vane pump that means you have two metal service's rubbing against each other and you could have wear particals from your pump that without the filter could ruin the vp44.Too me its cheaper to buy the filter than too take the chance I've already broke most everthing else.Just my way of thinking.
