I use 10 micron davco also. I must have gotten a bad batch of fuel because the davco filled up over the top of the black line in about 5,000 miles and I didn't check it that soon because they always last longer than that. Then the spin on clogged about 3,000 miles after that. Now I check the davco twice a week and check the spin on at the compuchek fittings with fuel pressure gauges. I just wasn't sure if the computer would adjust throttle response to help save the fuel pump from damage if it see's a restriction or was it actually starving for fuel.
