Default Screw-on Fuel Filter

Anybody use one? It seems like I plug fuel filters too often, and $30.00-40.00 for a replacement element is money I could use elsewhere. It seems like an oil filter-type filter would be cheap, and hold a lot more of whatever my local fuel distributors are leaving in my gas. Would a diesel filter work? How about an oil filter?

I like the fact that it has 187 sq. in. of water separation media that apparently does not quit flowing in the presence of water, like paper does. It also has a water trap in the bottom, and 250 psi burst strength.

Please forgive my ignorance. I am on my phone and it doesn't show me your specs. But if your plugging fuel filters and you are still running an in-tank fuel pump (or two) wouldn't you be plugging the pump socks as well?

I am currently looking for a filter to put between my tank (dual 400's) and intake. I was originally going to go with a 40 micro inline, but thought a spin on would be easier to change. What micro are the sock filters on the pumps?

I would guess that the socks are around 100 microns. They are plastic so they pass water just fine. It is probably water plugging my inline filter.
