The ceramic element filter such as Carter (55/56) and AC are extremely efficient filters. Problems generally come from improper or incomplete cleaning. Many people just use a compressed air gun and blow them, but if you do this in the direction of the fuel flow all you do is further imbed the debris into the pores of the ceramic. Solvent soaking with lacquer thinner is good, and perhaps better is ultrasonic cleaning. But regardless of which,when you blow them dry, remember to blow in the opposite direction to the fuel flow.
