Mine is pretty similar and I've wondered the same thing. I have one of those
clear Purolator filters that has replacable elements - I think LBCarCo sells
them. I have a stock SU setup, and my filter is vertical. I rarely see more
than 1/4 inch of gas in it.
I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation. I just don't know what it
is.
