That certainly would be a problem! Personally, I change out the fuel filter every few months (probably way more frequently than I have to) just because. I also pop the hood every night after driving the car to let heat escape faster to spare the belts and hoses. Again, probably not necessary but it's a habit I've gotten into and only takes a couple seconds. So, in my case I have almost daily inspections under the hood and frequent fuel filter changes as preventative measures.
