While researching compatible fuel filters for E85, I found this:
Common Fuel Delivery Mistakes by: Barry Grant
5. Unsuitable fuel filter
Fuel filters with conventional paper elements must not be used with alcohol. Because alcohol absorbs water, the paper and the bonding materials deteriorate quickly. ............. Further, it's equally important on alcohol applications, to avoid filters with inadequate flow rates, and inlet and outlet sizes that are too restrictive.
I have found the following fuel filters with stainless steel filter media:
Aeromotive: Note: they currently do not have a 10 micron SS filter
PN 12304 - 100 micron (-10AN in/out)
PN 12302 - 100 micron (-12AN in/out) - 0.15 psi drop @ 1,200 lb fuel/hr
MagnaFuel:
PN MP-7009 - 74 micron (-10AN in/out)
PN MP-7008 - 24 micron (-10AN in/out)
Barry Grant:
PN BG5000 - 8 micron (-10AN in/out) - Compatible w/ alcohol (Stainless???)
PN 170055 (DryBreak) - 8 micron (-10AN in/out) - Comp. w/alcohol - SS??
PN 171042 - 8 (?) micron (-10AN in/out) - Comp. w/alcohol - Wire Mesh
PN 171040 - 8 (?) micron (-8AN in/out) - Comp. w/alcohol - Wire Mesh
Hope this helps.

ps...if you know of another brand, post it here.
