My Kubota RTV 400 has blown out two fuel filters in less than a week. The second one was a lot bigger than the original. Any ideas on what could be causing this? They have both blown after a cold start.

I assume these are the plastic in line filters that have blown.
I assume there is an electrical lift pump that may be producing too much pressure. That could be from some upstream restriction to flow or the pump may be defective.
I would remove the fuel lines from the engine end and see if there is good flow out of the hose. Place end of hose in clean bucket to catch anything that comes out of the hose to see if there is debris. Or just replace the hoses and pump?

The RTV400 does not have an inline fuel filter, they have a sock filter in the fuel tank.
That's a carbon canister for fumes/vapors.
There's no inline filter for the fuel supply between the pump and throttle body.
To the OP- you should rephrase your issue to "I have blown out two carbon canister filters".
Is your engine backfiring? Is the fresh air filter on top of the canister clogged?

Clearly the OP's RTV is trying to tell him that it doesn't need or want that piece of junk.
