However, sometimes on startup after stalling (because the revs are too low and the ecu has been woken up - I use a battery isolater), it sounds like it's not getting enough fuel.
After looking hard at the fuel filter, the arrow goes in the opposite direction to fuel lines to the engine, and points towards a pipe that goes up through the car *somewhere* - to me that sounds like the thing was never on the right way round. I know there is fuel return from the engine - does it go through the filter?
So I'm thinking of turning it around. Better still, should I use a new filter? I wonder because the new one I replaced, if the wrong way round, will have all sorts of crap in where it shouldn't and would be a bad idea?
If so, I have this filter, which has no arrow at all!

If you can help me with this dillema, much appreciated! Don;t want to knacker a new fuel pump... cheers!
