high flow fuel filter best micron?

[92awddsm]

I personally have been running a 40 micron filter for a while and have had no issues with it. The last time I cleaned the filter, I also removed my injectors and checked the filters in each one and they showed no signs of trash. I didnt go with a 10 micron filter because they are all cellulose or paper and I just have a fear of one possibly coming apart at the most inopportune time.

Here is the filter I have been running. -8an in and out.

I'm with Keith here. The thought of the paper filter did not go over well with me so I decided to just run a 40 micron mesh filter from Summit.

I have been running it for about half a year on both 94 and 112 octane with no problems so far.

I'm not sure why you guys are affraid of the paper elements.... What do you think the OEM filter's element is made of?

A restrictive paper element that has been known to come apart in some high boost, high fuel pressure applications. At least for a couple of people that I have known.

To clarify, these have been stock filters modded to accept -6an inlet and outlet. With the stock banjo fitting and stock flare, I dont think there is enough volume to cause problems. Double the inlet and outlet size effectively increases fuel flow volume which is probably the primary cause. Either way, I dont want to take the chance.

so youve had no problems at all with the 40 micron?

Its probably the only thing on my car that I havent had problems with. But then again, I own a dsm. Im sure it will cause the fuel filter to fail eventually.
