Does the glass bowl on the fuel filter need to be pointing up or down...or does it even matter? Thanks.

Ideally you want it pointing up as the small amount of air left in the bowl will help to regulate the pressure.

I have to agree with Joe. What's heavier; water or gas?

It depends on the model Most are made to mount bowl down. The ones on the pump are made for bowl up. If in doubt, check the manufacturer's instructions.
