Problem after Fuel Filter Installed, pls help!!!
I searched for this particular issue but no luck, all i've found was O rings problems. After i installed the filter the car start right up and i was test driving it while looking at my fuel gauge needle that still hasn't moved after a few miles so i figured hmm i probably gained some MPG's. After driving for several more miles i began to worry that the needle is still stuck at it's original place even before fuel filter was changed. So i went to the gas station to fill about $10 or 2.8 gallons worth to see if the needle moves up a bit and unfortunately it doesn't after i cranked start the car:( I went home and unplug the battery to reset the system maybe i get lucky but still the same. Does anyone ever encounter this issue before? Did i do anything wrong with the install or my fuel gauge sender unit needs to be replace at the same time? Any input or helps is greatly appreciated.

Don't panic, this happened to me too the first time I did it. The problem was the bobber was stuck on a ledge since I hadn't put it back in at the correct angle.

I did this just today and would agree with this fellow above. Remove your seat and the cover and the screws holding the pump assembly in place. Lift it up and Take a peek inside and make sure the floater is pointing towards the passenger side of the tank. I almost had this problem because when re-installing the pump, the return fuel line inside the tank causes the pump to rotate in a certain direction when the pump is lowered into the tank. You have to use a little pressure to line up the screw holes properly. Take a look at some of the pics posted in other threads to get yourself oriented.

If you looked/felt inside the tank, the entire thing isn't flat. I also didn't reinstall it correctly because I didn't point the floater in the direction of the passenger side.

Problem fixed !!! I reinstalled everything accordingly. I made sure the floater pointed in the right direction and adjusted the return line a bit. I found out that the floater was pressed against the wall of the tank because i might've aligned the plate on the screw holes with a force which was unnecessary to begin with. Thanks guys for your helpful info, the car should gained some MPG's after i perform a couple more maintenance.
