    Do you mean it plugs up quickly?

    To me the most likely answer is you've got contamination in your tanks. I could ask if you've cut the filter apart to see what is causing it to clog up, but I'll bet the answer is no.

    Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's normal for the fuel filter to rise more quickly in the winter. I think it's wax. Think it has something to do with the fuel not being "winter blend". This is what another truck driver told me years ago.
