why does my fuel filter drain back?

[spinem]

its easy to take it off... those glass washable screen filters restrict sooooo much..... switch to a fram g3, gurantee ull feel the difference... also check that the clamps that secure the filter are tight. air can go places liquid cant.

yeah, i just didnt want to replace the pump without being sure that was the problem. i installed the clear filter just to see if gas was flowing thru the line from the pump, i was kinda liking the way it looks, but ima finish checkin the clamps, hoses and all the small stuff first think tomorrow. thankx guys, ill post up what the problem was, once and if i find it.
