Why? If it were the fuel filter don't you suppose the running of the engine would be affected during the ten minutes that it runs fine?
If you have spark, then I would check for a voltage signal to the fuel injectors. If you have that, then I would check to see if the fuel injection ECU is getting the timing signal from the trigger points located within the distributor. I have no schematic to explain how to do that.

1. Pressure can only build if the fuel pump is running. The pump only runs for a second or two, and then the engine starts. If the bad fuel filter were incapable of passing sufficient fuel to run the engine indefinitely, then it could not possibly establish adequate pressure in just a second or two. And even if it could, fuel pressure would drop and kill the engine almost immediately after the engine started -- it would not take ten minutes.
2. The engine starts and ten minutes later it dies. If you are correct, then upon a restart attempt wouldn't the pressure build-up and allow the engine to run another ten minutes?
