Changing the fuel filter on my 1100 Evo is one of those jobs I've got pencilled in for over the winter and I've recently assembled the parts needed to do the job. I bought the filter from Moto Rapido and noticed that it was a Mahle unit (KL97). A quick check on the Opie Oils site, (which has been recommended several times elsewhere on this forum), revealed the exact same filter for half the Ducati price. So if you haven't yet bought yours, I'd suggest you try Opie first.
It looks like you'd need a KL145.

As for the press clips you mention, I'm guessing they'll be the Oetiker type and I plan to fit the same again rather than jubilee clips.
In theory, because the Oetiker clamps are stepless, they provide even pressure right round the hose, which jubilee clips don't.
Having said that, Ducati list replacements for the Evo, which are...jubilee clips!
According to Craig at Moto Rapido, there's no point in ordering them anyway as they come with a short length of hose, (which seems to serve no purpose), and they're the wrong size anyway.
Once I know what the correct size is, I'll probably order them from here:
