Something told you correctly.

Or, shove the filter into place while tilted and only about 1/2 full. Then, get a hose and siphon some fuel from the tank to fill it up completely before securing it in place with the bolt.

Whatever you do, DO NOT shove the completely filled filter into place and secure it with the bolt.
