A few other points to mention.Some people mention pressing the fuel shut off button located on the drivers side footwell, I didn't feel the need, I cannot imagine it would have made a difference.
Thats not a FUEL SHUT-OFF SWITCH, ITS A FUEL SHUT-OFF RESET SWITCH.
Read your owners manual (again).
And oil on the buna o-rings, no thanks.
It will cause them to fail and gas will be
pumped out everywhere under pressure.
Workshop manual states to be sure and not
contaminate the seals with anything before
seating them. Looks like you will be needing
to do this over and with new o-rings to boot
or have the ever fear of the o-ring degrading
from contamination and blowing out.[:@]
Good effort, though. Just not the proper
procedure for fuel filter replacement.

A few other points to mention. I did not get a lot of fuel coming out from the fuel lines,
it was not under pressure, I would say about 4 ounces of fuel came out. Some people mention pressing the fuel shut off button located on the drivers side footwell, I didn't feel the need, I cannot imagine it would have made a difference. I agree with Derf00 do not get oil near the ends of the fuel filter, omit that step if you wish, I did it only near the base of the filter as I had read to do so in an old publication, of which I cannot find now. Total cost, below $20. Total time, under 30 minutes. Lastly, yes, that is my 3 year old "helper" in one of the pics, she increased the time by 10 minutes
The helper needs to be away from the lifted vehicle and gas and such.
Where is your brain, in your pants? Kids + workshop = trouble.

I just didthis today 23k miles. Have noticed a big difference as it is easier to start in first gear... dont have to give it so much gas. i thinks the filter was pretty plugged.
I did not bother to jack the car up, it was easy enough to just reach under the car and do the whole process minus oiling the adapters. I could not get the angle to use the screwdriver to undo the green tabs, but you can easily do it with your thumbnail.

The switch can also be used to shut off the fuel. If you want to depressurize the fuel lines before changing the filter (i.e. the correct way) then you need to start the car, trip the shut-off switch, and let the car run until it dies. Then go about changing the filter, then reset the switch and restart the car. It may take a couple tries to restart; this is normal as there is no fuel in the lines.

Lighten up Frances....the car was safely on all four tires when the last pic was taken. Point taken on the
oil/contamination, I will not have issues or have to replace anything prematurely. As for where my brain was, I figured I didn't need it, I could just ask you since you already know everything.

Best to go on and forget it. We get that from him quite often.[:'(]

It really is a very easy job and it doesn't take long at all. I would omit the oil step, as it is contraindicated, you may be suprised at how much better your stang seems to run afterwards! Have fun.
