Default Stock fuel filter micron rating? Need one for E85

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.

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?

Default

Going with the magnafuel, -8 SS feed line, connector from -8 to the stock QD fitting, and a y block to run 2 pumps.

Anyone see me needing anything else?

Gonna run the second pump triggered off the WOT switch for the nitrous...
