    Good Morning SP:
    If i understand the question... the gauge will install on the "out" side of filter. This allows gauge to "see" filter restriction...

    It should go on the outlet side of the filter to measure the restriction of the filter.

    The filter should be installed between the fuel tanks and the fuel pump. The gauge should be on the fuel pump side of the filter.
