Narrative:
Right engine fuel filter EICAS displayed at liftoff. [We] performed QRH procedures which dictated landing at nearest suitable field [and] completed overweight landing checklist. Landed at 348;000 pounds. Completed overweight inspection. No part [so we] went to hotel. Same thing happened at this airport with same aircraft approximately one month ago; a bad fuel filter; perhaps faulty indicator system. Do more than replace filter.
