I own an Opel Astra H 1.6 Caravan 2005 with a manual transmission (from Hamburg, Germany)

I'm driving it in a post-soviet with low fuel quality. As there is no fuel filter in the system (I checked several times, even "professionals" in my country are in shock) I have to "wash injector" couple times a year.

Would just adding a simple filter to the fuel system be OK?

It is a tank filter most likely and needs changing every 40k, see here : http://www.vauxhallownersnetwork.co.uk/index.php?threads/astra-1-6vvt-petrol-fuel-filter-location.278296/

As for adding a filter, yes you can, but make sure it and the fittings will be rated for the pressure in the supply line.
