If you're thinking of replacing with a cheap fram filter, do yourself a favor and just bypass the thing. If their fuel filters are anything like their oil filters, they're pure junk.
You're talking about saving $25 on a $25,000 motor... it's not worth it.

I cut the merc filter to inspect & the glue on the pleated seams had came apart , so it would have been getting to some extent unfilterd fuel . the pleats were not even overlapped they were butted together & glued
Sorry about my comment on the micron sizing , I was mislead ...

the way i gather it is the filter will trap down to a 4 size micron spec of dirt,with that being said fram will trap a 10 micton piece of dirt..4 is smaller then 10 so i would have to say wrong...
read and look at the chart..
