Actually, a 10 micron filter will remove smaller particles from the fuel than a 20 micron filter. 

 

Been a long time, but when I was a commercial lobsterman, Racor fuel filters/water separators were the preferred filters.  They were not cheap, but they were very effective.

 

As a rule, you get what you pay for.

The Academy filter may be sufficient, but I tend to err on the side of overkill when it comes to these things.
