[Spridgets] Tips or examples installing my Facet pump, hose never fits right.

[Steven Guterman]

I see what you mean form Lin's picture.  It looks like the filter screws
into the pump and has the hose barb on the other side.  I just try avoiding
having to crawl under the car for any reason.

The street elbows should work with the filter and pump.
