The 10 Micron Filter is the Spin-on Filter.

If the Fine Filter plugs up on the Road it could be easier to change the Filter than to bypass it; depending on they type of Filter Assembly you are using.
The exception would be if you had some sort of Valve set-up that would cut the Fuel off from the 2 Micron Filter and divert the Flow to the 10 Micron Spin-on Filter.
