Is it OK to use a Fram G2 automotve fuel filter ? The size is slightly larger than OMC part, but not much. The inlet/outlet size is correct. I like the transpearancy of the body, easy to get and idea of whether it's still clean.

What is the significance of the question about 10 microns ? Is it possible to have too dense of a filter? The oil side of the VRO is disabled. The fuel is mixed 50 : 1 in the external fuel tank.

is the filtering media suitable for pre-mixed fuel or does that matter ?

Premix or gas doesn't matter. 10 micron filter will stop water but pass premix/gas. The only filter to use, if you're going to bother. Fram should be fine if it meets that req't.
