rear fuel filter (is there are right and wrong way of putting on?)


Recommended Posts

I just pulled the fuel filter out and am going to replace some fuel line while im at it. I noticed that 5 years ago when i replaced i had put the lines towards the bottom and the filter element towards the top. That didnt seem correct to me though. Should the filter part be towards the bottom and the lines at the top to get the most use out of the fliter? I think i mixed it up 5 years ago but cant remember for sure.

Yea i knew about the flow direction but didnt know if the lines should be towards the bottom or towards the top of the filter when installed. I did get my answer not too long ago however and finished the job off.

 

For future information...the lines should be towards the top of the filter when installed correctly. This only goes for the filter near the tank however. Engine bay filter should be lines on the bottom except for the vapor line which is at the top.
