I bought a few bosch fuel filters through the internet (the in-line type) but it looks like they sent the wrong kind. It has the paper element and not the mesh type of material. It's too much trouble to return.

Is it ok to use?

Probably not....it will cause a restriction Get the right ones. You can use the gas filters for the shut-off valve oil protection mod. (stops oil from getting into vac system if the diaphragm ruptures) Pretty cool....I did the mod on all our cars....just splice a filter into the vac line between the shutoff valve and the key switch.
