Does it have to be 2 Micron

Im getting ready to do Guzzle's in tank mod. Does the pre pump filter have to be 2 Micron. I can get Racor's 10 micron no worries. The 2 is not common here.
I can get the Racor 445R 2 Micron. Anyone used that. ?

Hell no! I have like a 50 micron. You just need enough to keep crud out of the pump. The screens in the tank were probably about the same (50 micron).

ten micron is more than enough, the factory filter is 35 IIRC

Another quick one. Can the pump handle sucking fuel through a 2 Micron filter.? I got a good price on the Racor 445R 2 Micron.

Yes. I use a Dahl-100 with a 2-micron element, and I've never had a bit of problem.

However, I have no engine power increase. Bone stock, horsepower-wise, so no high-flow requirements.
