Can a water separating fuel filter be mounted upside down? I need to get room under one and that would work great for me but not sure if it should be done? Any help would be great.

Thanks as usual... :wavey:

Unlike an oil filter where all the fluid passes through, a water separating fuel filter keeps the water from going through. Water is heavier than gas, so it settles into the bottom of the filter and must be removed and "drained" of the water. If you mount it upside down, then only the water will want to pass into your engine because the fuel will rise to the top.
