An interesting post.
The fuel filters are rated, by some sources, to be good for 100000 miles. I replaced mine at 108000 miles, almost 2 years ago. I replaced it as part of general maintenance and noted no changes. I let the filter drain and dry out, then tore it open, which was quite difficult! I unravelled the element and noted that it did not seem to be loaded with much dirt, and the 'far end' of the element was still white and clean looking. So I have been suggesting that the filter was easily good for more than 100000 miles. But gasolines may be more contaminated in some places than others. And perhaps 100000 miles over 7 years is worse than 100000 miles in 5 years.
So we have a new point of reference for fuel filters.
With 7 years and 100000 miles. I would get a new DI and keep it in the trunk! Do you know if you have the orignal DI unit?
