Hi Remi,
Can you point me in the direction of documentation of the "high number"
of accidents or incidents involving fuel filters?
In the US NTSB files, only one of 7 total Europa incidents was tied to the
fuel system, and that one was due to blockage of the filter inlet by
a chunk of rubber hose.
The size of the filter area within the filter was not a factor in that case.
FWIW, the most common accident factor was loss of directional control
or poor pilot technique.
