Most of the time you cannot put these on backwards because the filters normally have a big end and a small end. Most are labeled in and out. But if this happens, the car will not run correctly when it is started because it will not have enough gas.

Can you install a fuel filter in a 1998 Tahoe in such a way as to lead to premature fuel pump failure?
A fuel filter does have a correct way to install it. One end usually has input or there is an arrow on the side showing which way the fuel should flow. If you installed it backwards, I guess it woudl cause undue strain ont he pump trying to force the fuel backwards thru the filter if this is even possible.
How do you check if the fuel pump is bad on a 1999 suburban?
Disconnect the fuel line that goes from the pump to the fuel filter and check for flow - if you get fuel there, the pump is ok. If not, the pump needs to be replaced. If ok, re-connect the fuel line and disconnect the line that comes out of the filter (filter to engine) and checlk for flow. If little or no flow, replace the filter. If filter is ok, reconnect the fuel line and look for an obstruction further up the line. You could also trouble-shoot in reverse by disconnecting the fuel line where it connects at the engine and checking for flow there. Then just work backwards from there.
