Changed fuel filter (pic) is this bad?
Gosh when I compared this to the new filter I was a little surprised. I think this was replaced about 20k ago (before I had the truck).
Is this normal? That sucker is black!
I hope the attachment works...

Where do you get your filters from? I bought this time from the stealer and it was $$$$$...

Last one i changed looked like that with 7k miles on it. I had gotten some bad fuel, and being the second time- it broke the camels back. I did the hutch mod. I used to change my filter every 10k, but from the info I have gotten, I should change them both anually now.
