fuel pump filter is on wrong side

[Passnu2]

Installing a new fuel pump, Walbro 255, everything removed perfect. I removed the old fuel pump not knowing what size was in the car and how old it was.

The filter is on the opposite side Does this mean it will not work or is there a way to rotate the lower portion. Not my first time replacing a fuel pump but I never ran into this before.

Manufacturer Part Number: GSS341-857


Thanks

Any pics?

Is the part number that you posted the new pump or the old one?

 

[Passnu2]

that is the new part number, there was a Walbro inside the hanger but different part number. I'm guessing its a 190 lph.

Maybe the previous owner installed a pump with the inlet/outlet on the same side, like a GSS342.

Regardless, the 341 is the right pump for your car. So as long as you don't have install/clearance issues with the filter sock you'll be fine.

Yea, similar to the 342 is what I removed. Thanks for the picture.

I will take pics tomorrow. Is it possible I have a FWD hanger? I have an AWD, vin & title prove this, so its not a FWD converted. Is it possible I have a FWD hanger in my tank?

I will grab pics of the hanger out later today. These are the pics I took late last night. Thank you.

Part # shows I had a FWD 190 lph fuel pump.
