The fuel filter needs to have a good flow. When the fuel filter gets clogged the fuel stream slows or stops. The vehicle will either run sluggish or stop running.
If any of it gets through the pick-up filter (aka the sock) then gets through the fuel pump (assuming the vehicle is fuel injected) it will get caught in the fuel filter before it reaches the fuel injectors. If enough of it gets into the fuel filter it will clog up the filter and restrict the fuel flow.

there is a reason you should state vehicle year........asking part of a question only gets part of an answer
You don't have to change the pool filter for years Unless it gets damaged. You do however have to clean the pool filter whenever the presure leading to the filter gets too high. This indicates a dirty filter that is not allowing water to get through effectively.
You can't. If you get reported, the filter gets worse. -MeganHatesMatt
The replacement filter is a 3" filter. The piping where the filter gets mounted is 3"
Your fuel filter is important for maintaining free flowing gas to your engine. If the line or filter gets clogged, your car may sputter or stop while driving.

Your fishtank gets dirty quicker.
Because When the filter is on the water is being pushed through the sand, this brings about a buildup of water pressure in front of the filter and a reduction of water able to get through to the returns. If the filter gets dirty the pressure gets even higher. When the system is set on recirculate the water bypasses the filter so there is no pressure in front of it and as a result of this it is able to move through the system more easily.
