What is the recommended change interval for the fuel filters on a Cat?

I get about 25K miles out of mine and only change both when I start to loose power going up a long climb. Not sure I'd do this with a CAT that can be hard to restart if you do not have a hand pump to get all the air out. With a Cummins you put the filters on dry and cycle the key (30 seconds on) several time and the electric pump gets all the air out before you try and start.
With the Cat (at least my setup) there is a hand pump on the engine and the Racor primary filter has electric air and water purge buttons.
I like the vacuum gauge idea also and may have one installed when I change the filters. Sort of like the filter minder on the air filter.
