I've switched over to the finer "plastic box" type filters. One thing that happened to me was that I lost an electric fuel pump due to fuel starvation, when I dumped a bottle of "lead substitute" into the tank. The higher viscosity of the additive apparently was difficult to pull through the finer filter and overheated my electric pump! Now I mix in the stuff at the end of a fill. No new problems. And yes--I have a new set of hardened valves ready to go in this summer so I don't ever need to pour in that stuff--if it works at all!
Also, there's a small chance that the E-10 fuel itself would cause for re-jetting that carb.
