Also you'll need to relieve the f/p before disconnecting the lines. Youcan do that by unplugging the f/p relay or unplugging the intertia switch.

RE: Fuel Filter
unless you like a quart of fuel in your face, relieve the pressure.
all you guys that have had no problem without relieving the pressure, you have fuel system issues.
the system should hold a steady pressure for hours after the car is shutdown.
easiest way to do it, you depress the schrader valve on the fuel rail. this is the highest point in the system and will barely allow any fuel to come out.

RE: Fuel Filter
I have never had any problems..I just let my car sit overnight. Don't forget, there will still be lots of fuel in the filter and lines(not under pressure) but enough to make a mess. And try not to get it in your face...that really sucks
