i agree

anybody that has an "unexpected" fuel filter clog is just unprepared and hasn't given the engine proper maintenance in the first place.

Consider not only the cost but the labor involved as well. And somebody mentioned also that the Benz diesel basically does filter out fuel and returns it to the tank (excess fuel that gets "pumped" but not "burned"). I understand it doesn't filter high quantities but it's surely helpful.

I guess it's a good thought though.
