Can anyone tell me if water seperating fuel filters are ok to use with 50-1 2 stroke pre-mix ?

You see ive taken off the vro:mad: (cannot trust it ,no way) but would still like to use a
water seperating fuel filter.
I like the ones with a clear bowl on the bottom and the filter canister above that you can
let any water or sediment out the bottom of the unit.

But i heard from someone that the 2 stroke oil might not go through the filters due to most being
between 10 and 20 microns etc.

I like the idea of the plastic housed one due to less corrosion in salt water enviroment that i
would often be using the boat in.

Is there any particular products to stay away from ?
or any products suited exactly for my pre-mix 2 stroke fuel.

I've been using one for a year now w/no problems. It's one of the small Racor's (works fine for my 30 HP motor).

I should have mentioned that my motor is a 2-stroke - no issue with the premix fuel and the 10 micron filter.
