hi I am changing the fuel filter on my 89 gti cabby, whilst disconnected can i turn on if Orion and clear the line? If so what side will fuel come out of? I will have a suitable container to catch fuel.
thanks

The filter should have a arrow on it to show direction of flow, it flows from the back of the filter to wards the battery, if you look at the pictures in this thread you can see the arrow.

I've not ever tried to get the pumps to run and to clear out the fuel lines and not sure I would in case it all went up in flames, a bit to close to the battery for my liking…..

The lines are constantly "cleared" when the car is running and any debris stopped and collected by the filter

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
