yeah, definatly upload a pic, im having a bit of trouble visualizing where you put it. also, you should just be able to clean the mesh inside the fuel filter if it gets dirty. you just unscrew the two halves and just clean the mesh with some extra fuel you dont need. then re-assemble it. however, ive run tons of fuel filters over a period of about a year and ive only ever had to clean one of them, but its still a good idea to check them every once in awhile.
