I think it's one of those things you won't know until you've got it off,my mate just did his Sprint's fuel filter and the gasket looked o.k. until closer inspection and it was found to be u/s.

Always re used mine - before refitting I always grease the gasket with a bit of silicon grease to keep it soft and avoid sticking  (same I do with other rubber parts e.g. mirrors and rear brake pump boots). :icon_wink:

Yeah, always reused mine. AFAIK it's the original on mine which, with the bike on 70000 miles, has been off 5 times.
