I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it right? Phil- just ignore everything. It will fix itself.

Most of the time you will notice the performance dropping off and will have time to change the filter at a time of your choosing. If you run biodiesel you would do well to have a spare filter and tools in the trunk.
I don't think filling the new filter with the old is a very good idea. The fuel coming out of the old filter is
unfiltered fuel, you would be pouring potentially contaminated fuel into a new filter bypassing the filter. In other words, you are putting particles straight into the IP.
