Default Re: Fuel Filter Recommendations

The info I could find on my filter is that the element is a 10 micron filter which If I'm not mistaken means that it can filter very fine particles so it should probably go after the pump. My initial concern is that the fuel pump would just push any particles right through the filter if I mounted it after the pump, but I assume that a 10 micron filter wouldn't allow that.

I too use a funnel with a tight metal mesh screen when I fill the fuel cell up to catch anything particles from the gas can.

According to Holley's website, they reccomend the use of a coarse screen type filter before the pump, which I'm assuming is one rated with a higher micron number and a high-quality pump after the filter which I'm assuming would be rated at a lower micron number to filter out fine particles like a 10 micron?
