I think the Davco 234+ filter is adequate to provide enough protection to the engine from foreign matter and water. It has a coolant heat exchanger, an electric heater, a sump to collect water that precipitates out when the fuel is heated. You can get filter elements in various micron sizes, and some that block water if you want to. Filter elements are around $10 apiece and will last 2000 miles if you are a little bit particular about your fuel. I don't think heating the fuel causes any more contaminants to flow through the filter. Heating contaminants does not cause them to shrink, and the filters block contaminants based on size, not temperature. So get yerself a Davco 234+ and then choose your fuel wisely, and you'll be fine IMHO.

YMMV.
