Is it me or does that new filter look to be fitted the opposite way to the old one?

As long as it's fitted with the "Flow" in the correct direction, which I'm sure it is ;) ;)

If its been driven far then it may be worth considering fitting a new one as the crap will now be on the wrong side of the filter medium.....turning it around will result in said crap now making its way upto the injector rail.

I'd thought about that, but was just trying to ignore it.  ::) ::)  ::) I've only driven it a few miles, but as you say, if there is any crap in the fuel line it'll be the wrong side of the filter.   :(
