Default need help just changed fuel filter and gas mileage seems to be going down

Like the title says. Its a 4th gen with h22 swap i changed my fuel filter and my mileage sucks. Would tightening the service bolt or the fuel line cause this or what? Thanks for the help

if you are sure it's not leaking around either end of the filter, it shouldnt' make a difference. Is the car running better with the new filter? If so, it may be that the car is actually getting the gas it needed but wasn't getting.
