Filter with E85
Filter with E85 I am getting ready to upgrade my fuel system with -8 feed, rails, and 127# Bosch injectors. I have been trying to decide what filter I need to run. I have read all over the place where people say it HAS to be a mesh screen filter. A select few seem to be running any old filter with their setups. Right now I am on the stock style filter and have noticed no problems. Is there a reason why I need to spend $80 on a fuel filter? Would any inline 10 micron filter work for me as long as the element is changed out every few thousand miles? I don't want to jeopardize possibly ruining $900 injectors with a filter that wont catch everything, or one that may breakdown.
Any help and suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Paper/cellulose type elements can deteriorate from alcohol.
Use mesh stainless or a fiberglass element 10 micron or finer.
A restricted injector will only melt a piston, so $80 seems like cheap insurance.
I have these in stock if interested.

6 micron
8AN Inlet/Outlet
Fiberglass Element.
Some people are changing the filter after the first few tanks of e85 since supposedly it starts to break down any crap that was already in there.
I have seen several threads showing people cutting into paper filters they used for years around 3000-4000 miles that looked like new. I say better safe than sorry though, let them risk it to find out. Fact is its corrosive, and I want something better than paper as a barrier between harmful contaminants and my high dollar fuel system. As lonnie said, cheap insurance.
