There is nothing special about the can that it can't be run in reverse. Well there is a little flap welded to the "intake" side but it doesn't cause any kind of a restriction to running the can in reverse.

What purpose does a screen serve on the exit port? You think the screen will prevent oil from exiting the can lol? There is a vacuum on the exit port... meaning any oil the gets on the screen or collects on it would be sucked into the intake. Hence why I run the can in reverse... oil collects on the screen as it enters/diffuses into the can and then vacuum pulls it down into the can.

Seems to work better this way for me. It's really not a big deal to run it either way.
