Default Earls Fuel filter ok to use?

i was wondering if it is ok to use this fuel filter? It seems really small and i've seen some people on h-t use it also.

its the micron numbers that count not the physical size
from tank to pump run 80-100 micron
after pump before rail run 10-60 micron

I've got a -4AN earl filter I got from summit. Works fine just had to get an adapter since I had -3AN oil lines. I heard there was somebody, maybe stan@fast-turbo.com that sells a -3an.

That filter is made for low psi. Its not meant for fuel injected setups.

It works fine, i installed it in my car and im hitting 15 lbs and my afrs are dead nuts. In fact after switching to this style setup, my afrs where kinda rich at low rpms and low load.

I'm going to grab one of the Earls filters. They are good up to 75psi. The K20a2 operates at 50-52psi. It will be fine not to forget there are numerous people running these filters with no problems

you may want to look into a pleated filter. the one pictured can clog rather fast and need constant attention. a pleated filter has alot more surface area.
