I had a lot of trouble with the micro mesh filter that has the spring and what not. After about a week the gas had turned the plastic into rubber practically and the spring smushed it up until it blocked the fuel flow. I had to put a couple small hose clamps around it for it to keep it's shape until I got home. Since then I've been running the paper in-bowl filter and haven't had any trouble what so ever. A guy I know runs the same paper filter and changes it every other year and has never had any trouble either.
