The DIC was already fingered by someone he has had look at it. And if he buys a used one and that's not it, it might not be much money he's out, and he would be just as well off in the end to have a spare anyways. Why I sort of steered him to that. A quick, clean and easy thing to change out.
As to the fuel filter. Hmm, maybe. But I have cut open a Saab fuel filter. They're massive, and have an incredible amount of filtering area. What could possibly plug one up so much that no fuel would flow? I can't think. And they're a royal PIA to get at and to change, need a big wrench to hold onto the can as well as one for the banjo bolt, at each end, with great care not to kink a plastic fuel line, and then gas spills all over you, down under a car. Don't make light of it.
