E85 Fuel Filter. What are you using I'm looking at different filters that I can use for E85. I know the paper element filters dont like E85 so I'm going to a cleanable metal screen type. Looking at Aeromotive, Magna fuel and FORE filters right now.
Magna fuel has a good looking one for a lot cheaper than the others, just wondering what an adequate micron rating is for it to filter well yet not restrict flow.
The lowest they have is a 25 micron, Aeromotive has a 40.

TrickFlow (100 micron)

Its tough finding a stainless steel element filter that is less than 25 microns. Magnafuel is the only one I've seen.
Anyone know of anything better?

I have a small system one 4" 30 micron stainless postfilter that was 95 bucks 
and a big 10" long afco 63 micron prefilter that was like 60 bucks. My feed is -10... alot harder to find affordable filters with male ends in that size.
I was going to run a magnafuel, but those damn -10 orb > flare adapters are ******* expensive.

I have a couple of the Aeromotive -10 filters with stainless 100micron elements for
$50 shipped each if you're interested.
They are mint, I just had to go to a -12 feed for my belt drive pump.
I would use a stainless aftermarket or OEM filter as some of the aftermarket paper style filters will not hold up to alcohol based fuels.
