1. A filter device mounted in a gas container having an opening portion, the filter device comprising: a filter case having a latch portion tightly assembled in the opening portion of the gas container; anda filter body, mounted inside or outside the filter case, for removing foreign substances, the filter body being forcibly inserted into the gas container,wherein the filter case has a folding portion integrally connected to the latch portion so as to form a tapered structure in which an outer diameter thereof is reduced, and a maximum outer diameter of the folding portion is greater than a minimum inner diameter of the opening portion so that the latch portion is pressed and mounted into the opening portion. 2. The filter device of claim 1, wherein the filter case has a plurality of through-holes for allowing gas fuel to flow through the filter case. 3. The filter device of claim 1, wherein the folding portion is foldable when the filter case is forcibly inserted into the gas container. 4. The filter device of claim 1, wherein the folding portion is made of a rubber material so as to be foldable when the filter case is forcibly inserted into the gas container. 5. The filter device of claim 1, wherein, in the gas container, a connecting portion of a multifunctional valve is assembled in the opening portion, in which the latch portion of the filter case is inserted and mounted, so as to be adjacent to the latch portion, thereby preventing the latch portion from being separated from the opening portion. 6. A filter device mounted in a gas container having an opening portion comprising: a hollow outer body having a latch portion tightly assembled in the opening portion of the gas container;a hollow inner body assembled inside the outer body so as to be linearly moved; anda mesh, tightly mounted between an end portion of the outer body and an end portion of the inner body, for removing foreign substances. 7. The filter device of claim 6, wherein the inner body has a plurality of through-holes for passing gas fuel, which passes through the mesh, therethrough. 8. The filter device of claim 6, wherein an elastic member is installed between the outer body and the inner body in order to return the inner body which is forcibly moved to protrude toward one side of the outer body. 9. The filter device of claim 6, wherein a support link is located inside the mesh and is installed between the outer body and the inner body, and the support link is bent such that the mesh is stretched when the inner body, which is forcibly moved to protrude toward one side of the outer body, returns. 10. A method of installing a filter device mounted in a sealed gas container having an opening portion, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a gas filter in which an elastic member is installed between an outer body having a latch portion tightly assembled in the opening portion and an inner body assembled inside the outer body so as to be linearly moved for return of the inner body;inserting the inner body, which is moved to protrude toward one side of the outer body, into the opening portion while the elastic member is forcibly extended;stretching a mesh, tightly attached between an end portion of the outer body and an end portion of the inner body, for removing foreign substances, while the inner body passes through the opening portion and is located inside the gas container; andforcibly inserting the outer body into the gas container until the latch portion of the outer body is tightly seated into the opening portion. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein, in the step of stretching the mesh, a support link, which is mounted between the outer body and the inner body and is foldably formed inside the mesh, is located inside the gas container by passing through the opening portion, and simultaneously stretches the mesh while being folded by restoring force of the elastic member. 12. The method of claim 10, further comprising the step of: assembling a connecting portion of a multifunctional valve in the opening portion such that the connecting portion is adjacent to the latch portion, thereby allowing the gas filter to be inserted and fixed into the gas container. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein, in the step of inserting the inner body, the gas container is filled with absorbents, in which gas fuel is pressed and stored, before the inner body is inserted into the opening portion.
