So I had to break down about 6 times before I finally got it through my thick head ---
ALWAYS put on new O-rings when you pull the return line port (is that what it's called?) off the fuel filter. Put in new O-rings EVEN if you just pull it off for a second to see if there's fuel in the filter.
I kept breaking down because of no fuel getting to the injectors, caused by air being sucked into the system somewhere. The best my local mechanic could tell me was to go to VW and buy a proper filter rather than the Wix knockoff sold at the parts store. Finally it occurred to me that the Ace Hardware in town sells O-rings. I now carry a little bag of them, and I haven't had a problem since, regardless of filter brand...
