i have a 10 micron filter just before my engine and a coarse finger strainer in my sump.
after building my tank i am sure there are going to be pieces of aluminum between flanges and tank wall etc. that i will never get out. i am sure pieces will go thru my finger strainer. i want to put an inline filter 100 microns between my sump and my pumps. at first i thought i should use a $130 aeromotive filter that has 60 inches of pleated stainless steel filter. after thinking about it i am wondering about a $40 filter that probably uses [ i don't know for sure] a filter disc, 1 inch diameter like in a gascolator. i am looking at the cheaper filter as i will probably ground the engine 10-20 hrs before i ever fly. a couple filter checks in that period should catch most of the pieces and give me an indication of what to expect in the future.
opinions?
