I replaced my fuel filter last night and am now having second thoughts as to the flow direction and whether I installed it correctly. Word to self: Install new brain.

Can someone tell me if I am laying underneath the car with my head looking up at the differential and my feet pointing toward the back, . . . Should the larger end (crimped portion) of the fuel filter be on the Right or Left. It's Right, I think? I appreciate the help. Thanks.

the larger end goes to the right...atleast on my car the clamp that holds it in was molded to the shape of the filter.

There are arrows and/or 'flow' markings on the filter. Of course it flows FROM the tank..
