Reusing the filter/sock @ bottom of fuel pump
I am going FI soon that is why I am installing the walbro. But before I did the walbro fuel pump swap I read on here that people just reused the old filter/sock (the on located at the bottom of the fuel pump). Yesterday as I was performing the swap I noticed that my filter/sock was dirty. There seemed to be certain specific spots on the bottom of the filter/sock that were black from dirt (I wish I had a picture to show). I then attempted to try to clean the filter in a bowl of fresh gasoline (making sure that the gas doesn't get into the inside of the filter). After I cleaned it to the best of my ability I noticed that there was dirt and other small particle junk that where floating around and stuck in between the mesh layers of the filter/sock that would not come out.
My car is a 2005 S2000 that has about 62,000 miles on it.
I called my local honda dealer and they said it would be $31.00. $11.00 is just for shipping alone or I would have to wait five days. Majestic probably has a longer wait time.
It's about $20-$22 at the other autopart stores.
So with everyone's experiences and opinions do I:
1) Reuse old filter/sock regardless of how dirty it is?
2) Buy a new Honda OEM filter/sock and replace?
3) Buy a new filter/sock from Autozone, Napa, Advance, etc. and replace?
Thanks.

I just reused my stock one. Wasn't too filthy though. Shouldn't really be too nasty in there or most cars. If I had a new oem one laying around I would have definitely put that in however. Most just reuse them when installing the pump.
