Ha ha... it actually doesn't matter much in the end since you just feed both ends into the can of dieselpurge  and start 'er up.   ;)

Having said that, the input is on the passenger side of the pump and the output is on the driver's side.  Some people run a cheapo gas-line filter on the input side... probably not a bad idea.

Thanks Vince. I am planning on an inline filter just because it get pretty dirty on the return. When we do Benz' they already have the pre-filter there so I use it and then replace it when I'm done. Not the case on my VW. Thanks again.  Trent

just got the purge done. I had been having some slow start ups. Now I will let it cool and restart later to see if it helped. I'll let you all know.
