Guess I`ll be checking to be sure there is nothing left in the filter housing, now too. I have changed many a fuel filter of this type and never give it a thought.
On a hydraulic system one time. It was a new advanced system that had the very small orifice port used to lift the main valve to flow the larger amounts of fluid. it appeared someone had opened a new filter and punched through the cellophane wrapper, a very small piece of that wrapper had got stuck in the orifice and disabled the entire hydraulic system.
