On average a fuel filter should be replaced once a year. More often if driven alot of miles in a years time. At least every 20,000 miles. Also depends on the quality of fuel.

Intank pump should be pushing fuel out supply line at filter...You should be able to hear it "rattling' when key is on until it builds pressure.Under hood pump is SUCKING fuel from tank and maybe through filter...a small leak at filter will not maintain enough vacuum to pull fuel out of tank...reinstall filter with a little lube on o-ring and try again. Once pump is "primed" it will function much better.
