   makes sense to put it towards front as thats fuel direction

   Mine point towards the back, because if you look at the way the fuel pipes are located they run back on them selfs.

   god i bet it doesnt actually matter, first i put it on facing the front and then i came on here and most people said they had fitted it facing the rear so i went and changed it.
