Primary Filter
I was noticing the little primary filter is very dark looking inside with the fuel. Should it be more clear looking with the diesel fuel? I know the ones with gas are quite clear to the eye. Would it be maybe, that is it is ready for a change out?

Another potential source of dark fuel is degrading fuel hoses. My rear tank outlet host was dissolving from age mixed with B99 use. It turned the fuel black. After replacing it and running a few tanks of fuel it's clean now.

Fuel filters are cheap and easy to change. When in doubt, change them out.
