Judging by the responses so far I wonder if anyone has actually used these filters?
First thing I can tell you, unequivocally... the filter will work fine whether it is use as a suction filter before the pump or a pressure filter after the pump. Doesn't matter which. What it will not do is work as a gravity only filter.
What I can also tell you is that when it is used as a suction filter on the pump inlet... a clogged filter or restricted tank outlet WILL CAUSE THE FILTER TO COLLAPSE ~IF~ the pump is any good. Given that you haven't said the filter is collapsing I would tend to believe that the pump is NOT drawing on the filter. That could also be the result of a collapsed line between the pump and filter.
So... what I would do: Remove the line from the outlet of the filter and see if it flows freely. If it doesn't, remove the filter and see if the line flows freely. If the line doesn't flow freely, remove the gas cap... If it still won't flow then you'll need to fix whatever problem you have in the tank pickup/strainer that is obstructing flow. Now on the other hand if you have free flowing fuel coming from the end of the filter... then you need to look at the line to the pump and the pump itself. I can assure you that a good working pump WILL COLLAPSE that filter and it will also collapse a poly fuel tank. I've done it. Many times with the filters on several machines. That's what happens when those filters get clogged.
My best guess, based on what you've described so far is that you have a bad fuel pump.
