Can someone recommend a decent inline fuel filter?

So many options, I have analysis paralysis. Would be grateful if someone would just say use this one for your GT 550 and you’ll be fine.

Thanks!

Don't use a tiny one. Any medium sized one will do. The teensy weeny micro-sized filters may be too restrictive for supplying the needs of 3 thirsty carbs.
Remember to replace it periodically.
As you are not supplying a set of high pressure fuel injectors it is not necessary to have a huge ultra-fine filtration unit. So don't worry too much about which brand filter you use. So long as you have a filter you should be ok.

Go to your local suzuki dealer and buy suzuki GSF 600 bandit OEM fuel filter. Not cheap but will stop all the crap. I have been running a VERY rusty tank for years without problems.they have a large very strong magnet inside that removes the rust below is a picture of mine after 5 years of use. See how much was filtered when I cut it open?

Or, the cheaper way out... just get a car one. A car fuel filter has to flow MUCH more than we need, (4,6,8 cylinders) so we're already ahead of the game eh?
