There are commonly available fuel filters down to two micron size. These
will stop any rust, etc. particles, but water will flat out plug them up so
nothing passes through them. Most of the common fuel filters are in the 10
- 15 micron range. Some crap rust, etc. gets through them. The carb inlet
filter is the last resort. Solution? Clean fuel tanks, all new filters on a
regular basis, buy fuel at busy MAJOR BRAND "TOP TIER" gas stations, keep
your tanks nearly full. Prayer.
