Subject: Fuel filter selection

It's time to select a fuel filter.  I know it's a little oversized, but 
I'm running 3/8" fuel lines at least to the firewall, just to make sure 
I'll never run into a restriction problem with fuel delivery (at least 
not a restriction that can be attributed to undersized lines).

I'm trying to source a part for filters right now, but I'm not sure what 
constitutes good numbers.  The Earl's filter I'm looking at says that it 
traps down to 85microns and is good for 4 to 5gpm.  That would translate 
to 300gph?  Does it strain well enough to act as the primary filter?

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
