Why Is There An Arrow On Some Fuel Filters
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ค. 2020
- On some gas filters there is an arrow to indicate the proper direction to install it. It has nothing to do with the quality of filtering. Could be on a riding mower tractor, walk behind lawn mower or other equipment. I will show you why that arrow is there.

Good job Steve. Even the most simple teaching makes us all more knowledgeable.
Maybe it's your beer homilies that also give you the Bill Murray thing. If you ever run short, here's a few that I'm sure Bill wouldn't matter if you used.. I used "Homily" because you vids are pure scripture...

Hi Steve, can a person use this kind of filters on diesel cars? Thanks mate
Steve always cuts to the chase unlike tons of videos that can take 30 minutes to say what should only take 5. Good going Steve! I appreciate your brevity.
WB
So true!
Thank You...
All the other guys want to hit that 10+ mark so they can get 2 ads on them. $Makes
Forgot you had a beer sitting there, I'm starting to worry about you !!!
He's right tho
That filter goes in the direction you’re mowing! When you back up, you have to stop and turn the filter around.
Yep, kinda like putting the car into "R" for "Race" mode on the highway to go faster. 😎
BCtruck, BC Blades, I told that to my wife, she almost cut me off for a week!😂😂😂✌🏻️
😂😂😂😂
I have a few boxes of nails with the same issue.
I thought it was if you were in the northern or Southern Hemisphere? Thanks for clearing this up, but it takes me forever to cut my grass now.
Steve, I want to say, that I appreciate you and thank you for taking the time to do what you do for us viewers. I love the content you put out on your channel and will watch it forever.
well said Adam.
I appreciate that!
Another reason to install a fuel filter the recommended way, is that the media is stronger when the fuel flows from outside->in, vs inside->out. If a filter is plugged on a pressured system, the media can be pulled apart much easier, than crushed in.
you got it bACKWARDS... LOL
Sounds like really good point. My first thought was purely for ease of inspection.
THANK YOU!! SO refreshing to hear someone who actually knows what he's talking about. Yes, that little arrow really IS supposed to point in the direction of the fuel flow for exactly the same reason that you stated, so that the operator or mechanic can see any water or debris in the fuel line.
If people don't want to see what is in the fuel line then they shouldn't use a transparent fuel filter. After all the explanations of such things on YT, it still amazes me that I just saw someone else on YT installing a transparent walled fuel filter 180 degrees backwards.
Love the videos Steve! no wigs, no bad teeth, no weirdness ,,,just the facts!!! love it
Thank You...
And there's ur dinner! And might be ur last dinner, talking bout my buddy Taryl.
Steve thanks for your insight, your the only one on you tube, that describes how fuel filter works, the others not so, thank you, you really helped me out.
Wow, thank you!
Steve - love your videos! Always informative, always "plain speaking" and easy to understand. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
Thanks, will do!
Simple but good and very clear explanation hardly clarified at most TH-cam clips on replacing petrol filter.👍
Glad you did this video. You don't know how many times I have yelled at people's videos for putting these on backwards.
Right on
An extra benefit is there's more surface area on the outside, so it won't get plugged as fast.
Surface area of one side of a sheet of paper is the same as the other. What is different is the narrow pleats can more rapidly fill and not use all the surface area. The area outside the media has move volume for fuel.
So you can see how dirty it is !
Thanks for all your great 👍 information. I have a compressor in the back of the van, going on 34 years. Works faithfully every day. I use this filter , and keep spares on the van. I always thought the arrow was for the direction of fuel. Tank - Carburettor, so the old adage, you learn something every day , still holds good. . So big thank you for your great and very useful information.
You're Welcome...
That’s a NO sip vid there folks. Great message and I’d just say that if you’re waiting to change that puppy when it’s clogged from the inside you’re missing the point on preventative maintenance. Once a season folks. Invest in maintenance and avoid 50% of the mid season breakdowns ✌🏽
Good point!
And they say the best advice isn't free.. good advice
3 years later this is still helping. Thanks sir for sharing this with us.
You're welcome!
I always knew that as far as filtration goes it shouldn't make a difference which orientation the filter is installed, but as an indicator to observe how blocked it is makes total sense.
Thanks so much for sharing. 😉👌🏻
Right on John! You're Welcome...
Very simple explanation of why the fuel flows in a certain way, answered the question exactly so I knew which way to put the new fuel filter on. Thank you
Glad it helped!
Steve, your video on back pack blowers inspired me so much I went out and bought myself a Stihl 800c . Wow, will have more time for cold ones. Will get the leaves moved in half the time.. Thanks for all you do.😁
Great to hear!
Keep your videos coming Steve!! Can’t explain things any clearer 😎
Thanks, will do!
I had that red filter on my lawn tractor and switched to the new one. I saw the arrow and figured it out. It makes sense. Thanks.
Right on
I have watched a lot of small engine repair videos and you are the BEST!
Wow, thanks!
Well done Steve, short, sweet, and to the point.
Thank You...
Fantastic simple, to the point explanation. Thanks Steve!
Glad you liked it
That's such a great explanation. Loved it!
Had a beer in my hand through the entire video. 🍺
Excellent!
Steve, you never disappoint. Thanks buddy!
Glad to hear it!
True for tiny gravity feed filters. For systems with a fuel PUMP (like vehicles and bigger machinery) incorrect installation can blow the filter media apart, also, they are often constructed with layers so the coarse debris is filtered out first and finer material is collected by the inner layers of the filter.
Straight forward and well explained videos. Thanks Steve for sharing your experience and knowledge making them interesting and informative to watch.
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
thank you so much for all your knowledge you have saved me so many hours of trial and era sorting out problems on small engine equipment. look after yourself and keep it up
You're Welcome..and Thank You...

Nice one thanks. It may sound simple and you may feel a bit dumb for asking but if you've not changed one before then you don't know. Thanks for getting straight to the point with no stupid music and minutes of intro that no one needs.
You're Welcome...
answered my question and it makes perfect sense. thanks!
Great to hear!
Alway appreciate your vids. I've learned so much and have saved the pertinent ones for easy recall.

Great stuff man! You're a legend, big tasks or small your my go to guy from now on!
Much appreciated!
Thanks for the info. Never thought about the inside being stopped up if turned the wrong way!
You're Welcome...
Slow down, open your beer, and take a breath, now your ready to blast out another great video. Lol great video Steve, thanks for the info.
Rock on!
Another great tip...going to put one on my 85 Yamaha 225dx tomorrow was trying to see a arrow earlier...couldn’t find it..
Well thanks to you, don’t need to now...
Thank you again Steve.....
Good luck!
The point> of giving proper direction is to keep a clear view of the information flowing without restricting progress. As an additional directive, hops imbelished beverages also have a flow sequence. Use the pull tab to initiate enjoyment; Accessing the contents from the opposite end using sharp implements could initiate unwanted rapid release and waste of contents. Be safe Steve and best to you and yours.
And uncomfortable burning in nose.... or so I’ve been told.....
You did help me a looooot ...now i understand much better!!! Thank you sire !!!
Happy to help
Nice informative video Steve. Thanks for clearing that up!
Any time!
Excellent video, Steve, and thanks.

GREAT VIDEO STEVE!!
Thanks!
Thanks for the info.. no arrow on mine and I was about to put it in backwards! Great little video. Thankyou...
Very welcome!
thanks for clearing this up
I agree about the reason for the arrow on that fuel filter. There are some others that do have check valves incorporated.in the fuel filter.
Great video ! Great explanation!
Thanks brother 🇺🇸👍🏽
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Always knew that one should have the fuel flow in the direction of the arrow but never knew why. Thanks, man.
You're Welcome...
Steve, I have found that too, the filter element will be darker (sometimes) indicating it may need to be changed.
Thanks for sharing. I did that on a car carb in-line filter. Looked like it was ok but the flow was into the cartage and was full. A friend saw the arrow bought a new cartage flipped the body the right way around. Older car not a in tank fuel pump.
Very Helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Steve, if you're not a genius... you are awful close! Thank YOU for all the tricks and tips!!!
Wow, thanks!
Cheers Steve🍻 I barely got a couple pulls off my Grain Belt and the video was done!! Haha! Another good one buddy👍 thanks for sharing🍻🍻

Well said - thanks for the great explanation!
My pleasure!
Thanks for the headsup Steve. Glad you treated yourself to a beer. LOL. Thanks for the video.

Good Information, makes sense....I bought a fuel filter for my JD riding lawn mower and noticed it was made in Isreal and I could not locate an Arrow which I thought should be on the filter for the reasons you gave. I got in on properly by chance ....Thanks !!!

@Steve's Small Engine Saloon is it normal to lose gas in fuel filter when mower sits after a few days
Thanks for clearing that up for me
Definitely a good thing to learn cheers
Thank You...
Helped me alot
Perfect explanation now I don't have to get my magnifier out to see the arrow! LoL
Put a paint mark or sharpy mark on the arrow itself
