Whats your take on fuel filter replacements?
If my vehicle has an external fuel filter I always change them around 50k (km).
With the high price of replacement for in tank fuel pumps and injectors it seem silly to me to neglect a $5-30 part that only needs to be changed once every few years for most people.
The crud that often pours out the inlet when changing makes me cringe yet I still hear so many people say "what a waste of good money" or "they are all good for life" or "I'll never change mine unless it plugs or gives me trouble"
For $30 bucks and 30 minutes it sure seems like cheap insurance on a possible $1000 fuel pump.
The filter on my wife's Alero is under $5....
