hi mine is a 2003 1.8 and if you look on my build you can see mine but here is a description.
The fuel system is pressurized , so 1 fuel line rear to front then flexi to the fuel rail in (its behind the throttle body and TPS wiring, points down wards )
right, from the tank sender unit, you have 2 pipes, 1 goes into the fuel filter (suitably mounted) the fuel filter outlet goes to a T piece, one side of the T goes to the main fuel line, the other leg of the T goes back to the sender unit (return).
Thus the whole system is pressurized and on start up when you turn the key the in tank pump pressurises the system and then cuts out until the fuel is required by the injectors/ ecu/ etc.
I put a plate on top of the chassis rails (o/s rear lower corner) and mounted my filter there.
if you need any help or clearer pictures I can get some tomorrow . also I would need to check which pipe is which on the sender top as I cant remember of the top of my head.
