Why is the fuel filter on my Mitsubishi Shogun not working?

Water in the fuel will cause corrosion, and the fuel filter is there to inhibit it which would otherwise find its way to expensive components like fuel pumps and injectors. Over time diesel fuel degrades due to bacteria which feeds on the fuel.
