Am I reading something wrong here? I always thought that the filters became finer the closer to the motor. So the larger (Racor) 10 micron filter would clear the bulk of contaminents and the smaller engine mounted filter at 2 microns, and very easy to clog, would be the final filtration stage.

I did place the little red O-ring on the T-Handle on the racor on the wrong side of the racor filter top once. Lost prime at a camp ground, very embarrising, made plenty of white smoke. Kind of like the time I didn't blow the leaves of the roof of the bus and they clogged the snorkel air intake and collapsed it.

Don't forget that some of the smaller racor filters for our generators need a free spacer installed in the filter body to insure proper filtration; a big racor factory oops as I recal.

Regards,
