Hi,
Yes it will, just not as a maintenance item, but eventually, it will clog. It'll take at least twice as long as the earlier models because your fuel system is of the
Non-Return type. It distributes only that fuel which the DME/Injectors call for.
The earlier cars sent fuel to the fuel rail and that which wasn't used was returned to the tank via the return line, so much of the fuel actually went through the fuel filter two or more times before being burned.
You don't have the maintenance, but the downside is that when it fails (or the fuel pump for that matter) the whole unit - Filter, Fuel Pump and Fuel Sender must be replaced because it's all one integrated unit. If any one of the three fails, you replace them all. Easier, but far more expensive in the long run. Still doesn't mean you can't be happy...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
