That looks like the same type of filter that spoiled my evening. I think they're filter surface area is too limited. After the strake repair work I ran the engine for over an hour and filters were clean. Then I flew it for 1.5 hrs and checked again. Filters were clean. After the second fill-up from an airport pump... well, you read the rest....

Given that you can never be totally sure you've got all the crud out, I think bigger filters with a larger filter surface area might be a good bet.
Regards,
John
