I am new with these Racor filters and I just purchased the R90S. The two gaskets that come with it each have a tapered edge on one side. My question is which way should that tapered edge face? I am guessing the square side goes toward the filter and the tapered side outward. I just want to be sure before I end up with a bunch of fuel all over my driveway. I asked the guy at the store and he was new and didn't know anything about them. Thanks,

There is a diagram on the little bag the rings came in.

The tapered side goes up.

All that was on the plastic bag was a sticker with a part number on it. But thanks for the info.

The installation instructions for the gaskets are printed on the side of the filter can.
