When i installed the competition kit, it stated to use the 100 micron filter before the fuel pump and the 10 micron after. The filters were not marked so i determined that the "heavier" filter must be the 100 micron filter because it traps smaller particles. For anyone who has a clue am i right?

Well the 10 is much more restrictive than the 100micron. You really need the fine filter more for than the injectors as opposed to the pump. Cant help up on part #s though

open them up, the 100 micron is the steel filter, the 10 micron is a paper filter. Both filters unscrew at the ends to open. The filters are changeable. Well, the 100 is cleanable.
