depending on the make and model of vehicle, the fuel filter can often be removed and blown clean (be sure to wipe it off and use eye protection, just in case). The more important issue is where the clog came from: is your fuel tank corroded, was the fuel dirty, is there a contaminant somewhere else in the fuel system?
