Re: Replacing fuel filter
The main reason for pulling the fuel pump fuse and then running the engine until it dies is, as gizmo42 said, to relieve the pressure. The fuel line pressure is usually around 40-50psi. It's not a lot of pressure, but when your underneath the vehicle, struggling to remove hoses, it would be pretty easy to have gasoline fly all over the place (in your eyes).
