WOW!!! Great!!! I am really happy you got your issue resolved...
Please let us know the cost of it, as we will soon need this replacement also... 
What is the real mileage of your car? i.e. after how much kms did your fuel filter became llike this?
Please drive slow and safe, Today i saw three accidents on my back to islamabad, one on Motorway, 2nd on the new toll plaza (not functional yet) before the golra more (kia classic bumped into the plaza barrier and roled over) and than a Black vitz and mehran brushing one another and stuck there before the Peshawar more...
so people do drive slow and safe and don't forget dua-e-safar while driving...
