Default Gas Engine Filters, Where, Which is best?

I have read a lot about gas engine filters, and the importance of filtering more with gas than glow. As I am changing over several planes and new to gas, I am looking for in-line filters that have more filtering capacity. All the filters I look at on Tower or Horizon are Dubro, Hayes, Great Planes, Hangar 9 etc. They either dont say how fine they are, or if they say so its not clear and if they are gas compatible. The finest I can find say 130 microns mesh....what ever that means. I assume the screen size. Do they make filters that are finer, perhaps 150 or 180 microns?

What is everyone using for fine mesh in-line filters for gasoline, so I don't plug up my carb, and where can I get them.

Thanks.
