6.9 fuel filter options.

Looking around for filter options, I have a wix 33811 on right now. Says it a 6 micron, is there a better filter? When I changed the last one it had some small crud at the bottom, just don't want that going into the IP

check racor web site cross reference should have down to 2 microns. beware CFFF (cold fuel flow factor) go's way up on tighter filters, you can warm the fuel by rapping copper tubing around heater hose, a 6.9-7.3 burn's about 9oz of fuel per minute at highway speeds
