Default E85 Fuel Filter

I just bought a set of ID1300's and plan on running E85. I'm going to be ordering the fore innovations triple pump fuel system and I was looking for some input on fuel filter selection. Just go with the one fore has on their site? Some people say fuel lab filters are preferred for E85... any advice and input would be great.

Thanks,
Jason

Dave Steck recommended the Fuelab filters with the 6 micron fiberglass element when I asked him this question. I have the 818 series filter now and it's about the size of a soda can. I'm thinking of mounting it in the driver's fender where people normally mount an alky pump.

Here is where Dave Steck mounted my Ethanol filter. Sorry but I don't know the model.

What is the best way to plumb this into the stock lines?
