I've just read an article (reprinted below) about Racor 2010 filters.
Has anyone else run into the problem?

If you have a Racor fuel filter that uses the 2010 filter cartridge,
your engine may be in grave danger!
The older brown two micron filters have been discontinued and replaced
by another, modified version also numbered 2010. Unfortunately new
version when installed sits lower in the housing and (in mine at least)
leaves the hole in the central tube partially uncovered.
The result is obvious; this allows the fuel to bypass the cartridge and
fed directly to the engine UNFILTERED!
I have gotten around the problem by installing a spacer on the central
tube that does not allow the cartridge to go down too far. I used a
piece of thin-wall PVC pipe, cut to a length of .95 inches.
