Most fuel filters will have an arrow that points toward the engine - that will be the correct direction for installing. Other fuel filters will be stamped either on the ends or sides with IN and OUT or TANK and ENGINE or something to that effect. The container or box that the filter came in should also have installation instructions. If still in doubt, ask someone at the business where you purchased it.
