Can someone please tell which way round the arrow on the fuel filter needs to point. The one I'm replacing is so rusted up I can make it out.

Cheers

follow the line from the tank to see which end the pipe connects to the fuel filter, the arrow should point in the direction of the fuel flow so the line from the filter to the front of the car should connect to whichever end the arrow points to.

I think the arrow should point to the front of the car.

Whats the best way to change the fuel filter?

Couldnt stop the petrol from coming out.

I've heard that it's easier to replace the hoses at the same time to save messing around with those fuel filter bolts?

I guess it would help if you run the fuel tank low and drain out the remaining fuel?
