Not to sure I understand your statement. If the inside of the filter is starting to darken, wouldn't that mean there is a good chance that dirt is getting through the filter and making it's way to the cp3? I always thought you didn't want to see dirt on the inside of the filter. I agree with your statement if you are only refering to the out-side of the filter, the added material would help catch contaminates, but if the inside is looking bad that to me spells death to the cp3 and injectors.

I very definately do not want to be speculating on something that I have not seen but I would think that there is a difference between dirt and discoloration. If it discolors on the outside the inside will also. MOre than that, without seeing it, I don't need to be telling you what I don't know.

Doesnt the filter filter from the outside in, meaning that the inside surface of the filter is actually the surface that is stopping the gunk? I kind of looked around in the filter bowl when I changed it and assumed the fuel came into the bowl from the post on bottom center of the bowl and filled from the top? I may be way off too!
