T&T: 2 10 30 Micron Filters??

[Ron Rogers]

Flowscan instruments wants users to stick to 10 microns or larger. That 
implies that the micron size does influence the flow rate OR smaller micron 
sizes clog sooner and, therefore, affect the flow rate. As I recall, DD 
wants to see a 30 micron off-engine filter.

they'll

to

doing

engine
