Default Fuel filter(s) e85?

Fuel pump in tank. TT LS3. Pump e85. 800hp.

2 inline filters 1) 40 micron stainless & 2) 10 micron stainless

or

1 inline filter 10 micron stainless?

I learned this week that paper filters are a no no.

You don't really need two in line filters unless you were going external pump. The filter socks on the pumps in tank then a nice stainless element 10 micron filter after the pumps will work no problem. But you'll want a filter that can flow the fuel needed for your engine and not be a restriction

10 micron Microglass element (fluidworks, aeromotive) vs stainless ok? Jegs has 10 micron stainless but says to use the 100 micron stainless for e85 and the flow rate isn’t as good as the above two.

I'd say you would be fine with the microglass element. Says it can flow up to 2000 lb/hr of fuel
