I am very concerned about your fuel source. I have the standard Vans installation
in the tunnel, and it is a pain to remove to check for debris. I did it on
this year's condition inspection and it was absolutely clean except for one little
spec of debris (like 1.0mm). I only inspect it every 2 years as it is a big
job to deconstruct the fuel manifold and inspect the filter. I would secure
another source for my fuel unless you have no option and then I would filter
it through a chamois like they do in Mexico or get your own filter. If need be
dispense the fuel into cans and then filter it.

Another path is to check with the owners of the other aircraft on the field and
have them check their filters for contamination. If they're seeing it to,
then it's pretty easy to narrow down the source.

I too have found that cleaning the std filter is a pain. I have gone to doing a
timed fuel flow to tell if the filter has lost any capacity. Way easier to do.

After an RV-10 caught fire and was destroyed a few years ago due to fuel
leaking and accumulating in the tunnel I have made it a priority to check
the tunnel more often than yearly. Since it is a pain to remove the carpets,
etc. to gain access from the top I cut an opening in the floor. I left a
section of the original floor that has the filter clamp base on it. I added
some platenuts to hold the cover. I have a short bracket that locates the
section relative to the cover holes when I reassemble it after cleaning. Got
to get down but it maakes short work of filter cleaning and tunnel
inspection.
