Stock Fuel Filter is a round cylinder on the top driver side of the engine. It's black plastic and about 3" Diam. Could that be it?

I have never heard of this fuel filter cracking.
Personally, I wouldn't even start it now since air can get in.
How many miles since your filters were last changed?
If 15,000 or close, may as well change them both (engine mounted and DFCM at the frame rail).
After replacement of one or both, purge the fuel system per the manual.

Is it this area? This is the only picture I have with me and this is the engine fuel filter removed from its cradle.
