Big fuel filters are essential, especially for those with composite tanks."
I second that. Just had to change out my nice looking Jegs Billet aluminum filter (with a tiny screen disk filter inside) for Peterson 600 series fuel filter. This is the filter between tank and fuel pump, not the high pressure one after the pumps.

For what it's worth, I've seen the symptoms of a partially blocked filter and restricted fuel flow while airborne....The mixture creeps toward lean, the EGT creeps up, fuel pressure is erratic and moving lower . Tweak the mixture knob toward rich and everything is fine for 10 mins, then the cycle begins again. Big fuel filters are essential, especially for those with composite tanks.
