Like I said in my post above, I just changed it last spring. That's roughly 15,000 kms ago. I think that's roughly 9000 miles. Too early.
99% of the time the tank is never below about 3/8ths of a tank. I fill up every thursday, almost always drive exactly the same distance every week.
Something must be up at that Shell station, been going there for decades and replace fuel pumps every spring. This is the first time I've ever changed a filter and couldn't even blow air through it!

But it is an extremely busy station at a major intersection of Canada's largest most densely populated city. So you'd think they'd have the freshest fuel around.
Or maybe It's something as simple as bad timing. Maybe by fluke of bad timing I might be showing up after tanker trucks fill up the in-ground tanks. That can stir up a bunch of stuff too.
I just filled up there a couple hours ago, the new kid running the cash register today is probably clueless about fuel filter complaints, so I'll wait till next fill up to ask when the regular guy is back.
I'm sure glad it wasn't the Catalytic converter!
