If it were me
If it were me, and I were going to change it anyway, I'd go to the 24T which is 10 micron vs. 2 micron. It fits the same head and is the same filter only in a 10 instead of 2..
Having been on a delivery when the engine failed at the most inopportune time due to a "new", owner stated less than three weeks, 2 micron filter I propose that this can be as much of a safety issue as anything. Most boaters really don't know just how clean the fuel tank is. Clean tanks should be a first priority but in certain situations, like this delivery, not always possible.
We did a delivery on a Down East style boat that had been used as a floating condo. The fuel was in horrible shape but this was well before commercial tank cleaners existed as a business. The new owner stocked if for the delivery, with a case of 2 micron Racor 900 series filters. This guy pretty much bought everything by the case but that is another story....
Long and short is we went through all the 2 mic filters in 1/4 of the trip. We stopped and bought more 30 mic filters. We made it all the way to Maine, in 4-8 foot seas, on ONE 30 micron filter and the engine ran perfectly....
If you do a search using "Rich H." and "filter" as author and keyword you'll find a ton of good info. Rich is a guru when it comes to fuel filtration..
