Couldn't agree more.

I am using the Holley 10m Dominator EFI regulator, it's rated at 260GPH. Tanks Inc tank, GPA-6 pump. I've been seeing a psi drop at 5k and up RPM, have been troubleshooting that.

Thought initially it might be an issue with the pump, or the pump being too close to the floor of tank. Noticed Tanks Inc now has a comment that the higher volume pumps are not compatible with the non-notched tanks, and it wasn't available when I ordered originally.

So got the notched tank, and stepped up to a GPA-8 pump. Got it all in there, and same thing.

So only thing left was the filter, right? Dropped the filter, opened it up, and it was a mesh element, didn't think twice about it, cleaned it, slapped it back in there, and same thing.

Figured I would replace the element, since all I could think of is that maybe I didn't clean the element properly, and some say that you can't clean the 10m filters.

Looking at replacement elements, I couldn't find a 10m element in steel mesh. ?? . So now I'm thinking it's a lower GPH element and I got the wrong filter or it came with the wrong element. It has the AN -12 ORB fittings, so it has to be the right housing.

Anyway, the new element, which is paper, will be here in like 2 hours, fingers crossed. But paper elements make me nervous.

I also have a 460GPH 10m filter for another build, so I opened that up, and sure enough, it's a paper element. And they only offer a paper element for it. Perplexing.

I may just go to another vendor for a filter, we'll see.
