Default dirty fuel filter

once again just another thing hated about buying used cars... you dont know the history ... i bought my mustang about 3 weeks ago and just borught it to the mechanic i know today... replaced a lot of things ,, brakes, rotors, calipers (1 was siezed) , fuel filter , fixed my mirror, trunk pistons, and so on .... my worry was the fuel filter.... it wasnt sledgy but there was a lot of sediment in the fuel filter... like a lot a lot. I had that changed but in doing so is there anything else i should look closer at now to see what needs to bereplaced now that i know the fuel filter was stock and never changed?

Clean you injectors. Get a can of BG 44K fuel system cleaner. Works really good.

No, it`s a special order. It`s $20 but worth it. http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=...e&ct=title
