Now that I am flying, I like everyone else flying, am concerned with a clogged filter.  It is a big job to get down in the tunnel and disassemble the filter only to find that it is OK.  Since filters clog progressively and not all at once, I measured the fuel flow by taking the fuel line off of the injector servo and connecting it to a hose that I drop the other end into the gas tank.  I then turn on the boost pump and read the fuel flow.  Mine started out at 42 gph and has not changed since I started flying.  This gives me peace of mind without all the disassembly.  If the flow drops below 40 gph I can then go and clean it.  Though I would pass along this time saving tip.
