[C320-list] exhaust elbow question--racor filters

[Steve Magennis]

The correct (but useless)answer to your question is "No".  The way
filter manufacturers recommend usding this type of a filter is to have
a fairly large (10 or 30 micron filter as the primary filter, and the
finer filter (2 microns) as the secondary.  That way, the first filter
in line removes most of the crap and the second filter removes the wee
little stuff.

If you use a fine filter for both, the primary filter will get plugged
rapidly, and your pump won't be able to suck enough fuel through the
filter to run your boat.

Most filter pros recommend a large filter for teh primary, and a fine
filter for your secondary.  You actually need both, and neither is
better than the other WHEN USED IN THE PROPER ORDER.
