Filtering RV-12 Is Fuel

I searched here but didn't find. I have an RV-12 iS with the fuel injected Rotax coming in two weeks and someone said I should screen/filter my fuel to 10 microns before filling the airplane. I use the Flo-Fast system and hand pump and so I ordered in their pump intake screen part 80850 but just realized it is an 80. I buy 92, unleaded no ethanol fuel and transport. My questions are should I pre-filter, and to what size and how can this ne done. Mr Fliter are just 50 microns.
 
Who is "someone"? Just curious.

The 10 micron is probably for the filtering after the airplane fuel pumps. Wouldn't this be done by the iS fuel filters?

A 10 micron screen would flow pretty slowly for filling the tank. The Flo-Fast screen will flow at the pump's speed.
