Fuel flows in the direction of the arrow, just like Haynes says. Haynes doesn't state it very well, but that's indeed what they're saying.

The original filter, I believe, had the same size inlet and outlet fittings on it, just like yours. There is one available (not sure if it's from a different year 914 or from a different car) that has the ~9mm inlet and a ~7mm outlet. That way you just hook a fatter hose from the center tunnel line to the filter, and a thinner one from the filter to the pump.

The original setup requires a "converter" hose that is probably still available from the dealer or from us (not sure), but is $$. Or you can probably fake up something from brass plumbing supplies.

We can supply you with the correct box filter--all of the OEM 914-4 filters that I know of were box-shaped. Again, see Haynes.

If your fuel line cracked when you moved it, it was well past its "replace-by" date. You should replace all of the fuel hoses on the car, because chances are they're all the same age. And ones that leak on top of the engine will leak onto very hot spots, which can cause fuel fires. Which are Very Bad News.
