Small particles in DFCM

This is my first personal diesel so first one I've done maintenance on.

Bought the truck with almost 15k miles, it now has just over 16k and I changed the filters when I noticed the underhood filter was the original 3 port style.

There were some very small particles in the DFCM. Maybe dirt from dirty fuel nozzles?

Guessing this is nothing to be worried about?

I'm not seeing anything to get exited about. I would continue to replace the fuel filters every 15k miles.

Good luck...
