pre-filter on backwards...OK??

after doing some work on the fuel lines I noticed that the new clear bosch pre-filter I just installed is backwards (as per the arrows on it). It runs fine, should I bother changing it again???

thanks...

also I posted in the tech section a question about running wires in my 124, if you can help with that I would be very gratefull...

It will work

But there is much more surface area on the outside of the filter than the inside. Also, you won't be able to visually inspect the contaminent level. The outside will always look clean.

Thumbs up

Will take you about five minutes to change, please go and do that. Then you'll have no worries.

Flip it around, it probably took longer to write the post then to turn it the right way.
