10 micron versus 2 micron fuel filters

10 micron versus 2 micron fuel filters. It seems a no brainer to me. The PO left of box of 7 ea 10 micron and 2 micron fuel filters for my Racor 500.

Why would I ever use the 10 micron???
What am I not understanding?

I also added a Racor 900 fuel polisher using 2 micron filter. Since I ended my trip, I've been running that whenever I'm on the boat. I'm up to about 5 psi vacuum now, so will also change that today.
Will change engine filters today also (2 micron Purolator F50149).

Engine oil filter is Napa 1806. THat will be replaced with ??? Fram 2821A

Comments, thoughts, suggestions.

I've been dragging my heels on this for 2 weeks now, so I've reached apoint that some action is better than nothing.
