This was just covered last month. Dimples reach out to toque Converter , away from crank.

Not to worry, you caught it before damage was done. This just happened to me when I painted my fuel cell and forgot which was the pickup and which was the vent. Ran the lines and, of course......I had them backwards, confirmed by Mark (aka FuelCellGuy). So, reversed em' and I'm good to go.

So......Just get under there, suck it up, get ta wrenchin', and turn that sucker over. Good Luck dude!
