Fuel Filter

[Bleebdat]

I got a replacement fuel filter the other day, but I still dont have a Hayne's Manual for the Hatch, how do I relieve the fuel pressure, and is that all I need to do to disconnect the old filter? Thanks Guys and Girls.

...if you look at the bolts on hoses going into the filter, one of em's got a smaller bolt ontop of a larger bolt....put a rag around the connection and loosen the smaller bolt...that's all you need to do to relieve pressure...simple

Theres no fuse to pull? On most cars you need to pull a fuse then crank the car to get some of the pressure out of the system.

...not as far as I know...maybe on OBD1 & 2 cars...

Don't forget to open your gas tank. But do remember to put it back on.

There are two obvious screws showing when you open your fuel door, I believe you unscrew those part way to relieve pressure.

Well guys I already did it, Opened the fuel filler cap and then went to unscrewing. There was very little fuel that came out and the process was totally painless.
