fuel filter suprise

Well, the car started spittin and sputterin this morning so I went and got a new fuel filter. Came home, crawled under the car and swapped the new one in exactly like the old one was. After I got it hooked up and mounted back in place I got to looking at it and it was backwards. I took it back out and turned it around so the flow was going the right way. I'm wondering if the filter being in backwards is what killed my fuel pump a few months ago.

Re: fuel filter suprise

could have but we will never know now that you changed it... turn the new one backwards to see if it cooks the new fuel pump
