Default install problems/questions



installed my walbro 255 HP today and the filter provided with the fuel pump when installed didnt look like this



but it was facing the other way, which id have to be careful driving around with low gas. so i reinstalled my stock one that came off my fuel pump, is it ok to re-use? and has anyone else had any problems with it facing the other way forcing u to use the stock one?

you cant really just flip it around can you?? but can you just use the stock filter on the new fuel pump though? do they go bad or something? the oem one looks alot better than the one walbro provides, thanks for the quick responce hawkze

Seriously, I put it back together and it wouldn't fit down in the tank, and then I looked at it for a second, and just flipped it around...

I had a picture of it, but I deleted because I thought I wouldn't use it again
