Default Lets talk fuel filters. and OEM's quality

What micron does the Oem 92-00 civic fuel filter, filter down to? ID recommends I have a 10 micron filter for my injectors, my set i just had cleaned had one injector go bad because of debris. I don't want this to happen again, they only have 10 micron Weldon filters which are ~$90 a piece, i still have stock lines up to my fuel filter then AN to the rail and then to the regulator.

What's the stock fuel filter micron rating? if it's more than 10, what's a small and easy filter i can mount on my fuel rail that's not the size of a coke can that's compatible with e85 and isn't ridiculously priced?

There are millions of cars on the road today with OEM filters. They work fine. The issue may have been a rip or tear in your original filter, particularly if you were using Honda OEM with e85 fuel. The are not compatible as Honda has not needed to use this fuel fad to improve sales. Your options are after market or another OEM filter that may work and is e85 compatible(GM, Ford...etc)

OEM Honda...No. But OEM Ford, GM or other e85 compatible fuel filters will work fine.

Why would a non e85 compatible matter? A few race buddies i talked to said they've ran their oem Honda filters for years with no problems, what problems will i run into?
