I don't remember if you have a carb or injection. Not sure it matters. 100 micron isn't sufficient for injectors or a needle and seat. I still think you may have another problem.

It's a paper element, I'm going to a stainless mesh one. They have a high flow 40 micron one
It was definitely the filter. We poured fuel in it and could hardly get a trickle out of it either gravity or under pressure.
I have subsequently done some research and there is a 2009 bulletin on the Aeromotive web site that actually says you should keep a spare 10 micron paper element spare as they have a tendency to "clog up" with new fuels and their alcohol content. I've been running 98 octane since day 1.
regardless i think they should last longer than 600 K's but sure I have nailed the problem...
Thanks for your thoughts, they did get me thinking which is the support I was after
