I have been fighting fuel starvation issues for years, so I try to keep up with maintenance to help my fuel system be the best it can be. Today I replaced the two in line filters under the coach and the carb inlet filter on the Q-jet.
After replacing the filters, I cut one of the in-line filters and the car inlet filter open to have a look at the elements. Both of the in-line filters appeared to be free flowing and no dirt came out of them when I blew them out into a rag. The carb filter had the slightest amount of very fine grit in the pleats, but it didn't seem excessively dirty.
I don't remember when I last replaced these filters, but I'm sure the carb filter, at least was replaced less than 8000 miles ago.
How often do you guys replace fuel filters and what do you use as a criteria for when to replace them. They are cheap, but not quick and easy to replace, making me reluctant to waste any more time on them than absolutely necessary.
