I usually don't change fuel filters till I detect that slight hesitation  on a long pull uphill. It would probably run for miles on the flat but thats when they get changed. On a boat with a cat or Jimmy fuel filters generally don't get changed (switched over) till they need too be (RPMs drop a little, skipper freaks) . I don't think this practice would be considered running outa fuel tho.
