This has got to be a simple question: How is the in-tank fuel filter oriented? This is the white plastic mesh-like filter that mounts on the pick-up tube in the fuel tank. Is the round more poreous inlet area mounted down, toward the bottom of the tank or upward, off the bottom? Down would seem to restrict flow and maybe pick up more crud; up would mean that about an inch (the thickness of the filter) of fuel is unuseable.
