How often do you change you fuel filter ?

If the filter clogs does it quit running well or does it bypass?

It will quit running, for sure. There's no way you'd ever want to run unfiltered fuel through those injectors.

Mine was pretty black at 5400 miles, check it out in my reader rig gallery, I was glad I changed it although I did not notice any difference in performance.

I just changed my first one at 10k and some change. It wasn't as black as some, just a light to medium grey, and no spots. The fuel I drained before changing it, was completely clean, no water at all or any sediment. I have only bought fuel on the road at larger truck stops and 3 local stations, 2 truck stops and one car place that has 45 Cetane for the same price as everybody elses 40 grade.

I change the fuel filter every other oil change and I change the oil every 3000 - 4000 miles.
