FWIW
Actually your fuel filter should not be full of fuel.
Clean fuel filters will have air in them, as they get dirty the amount of
air gets less and less until they appear to be full of fuel, then it is
time to replace the filter.
I don't think your problem is the filter, but I would already have change
the filter at the very first sign of any fuel problem. Cheap insurance.
