Hmmm, that does look nasty for 10k. This is how it looks with 80-100k over here. Lower quality fuel have many different contaminants in them, not just sulphur. Simply, refinement process isn't as good.
I remember in the early nineties people changed filters more often, maybe every 15k.
15k is quite longer here..we mostly change in 7000 to 10000 kilometer..
Well, better to change filters that injectors or pumps. Euro trucks often have two fuel filters, than had it even when fuel was similar in quality to your.
Maybe you should consider installing additional filter/separator before OEMs one.
