I use 10 micron as the primary - that is on the suction side of the lift pump. The secondary filter, mounted on the engine, is on the pressure side of the diaphragm lift pump and a 2 micron filter is no problem there. Also a glycerin filled vacuum gauge (got mine on eBay for way less than Racor - think it was about 10 bucks delivered)is nice. Saves unnecessary filter changes and alerts me to fuel problems before they happen. Good investment.
Great combo - clean is good - knowledge is power! Philip from Ed they build up more stress on the pump pulling through far more suction than designed for. Also, the fuel flow is intended to help cool the components it runs through and with too little fuel flow, there is less cooling, more friction and heat.
