Phil if the filter used is P581682, thats a 9mic filter. A wee bit too fine to be first cab off the rank to see fuel from the tank. This is probably why its clogged. But you got that back in 2022 so if probably done a few k's anyway.

I'd start with a 20-30mic filter then have the finer filters closer to the engine. This way all filters are doing a job, not just the first filter catching most and the secondary(s) doing not a lot.
