2. Relieve the fuel pressure. Before you can remove the fuel filter, you need to relieve the fuel pressure in the system. To do this, turn off the engine and open the gas cap. Then, turn the key to the "On" position without starting the engine. This will cause the fuel pump to run and relieve the pressure in the fuel system.
3. Disconnect the fuel lines. Use a wrench to loosen the fuel line clamps and then disconnect the fuel lines from the fuel filter. Be careful not to spill any fuel.
4. Remove the fuel filter. Once the fuel lines are disconnected, you can remove the fuel filter by unscrewing it from the fuel line bracket.
5. Install the new fuel filter. Screw the new fuel filter into the fuel line bracket until it is hand-tight. Then, use a wrench to tighten it an additional 1/4 turn.
6. Reconnect the fuel lines. Connect the fuel lines to the fuel filter and tighten the fuel line clamps.
7. Start the engine. Turn the key to the "On" position and start the engine. Check for any leaks around the fuel filter. If there are no leaks, you have successfully replaced the fuel filter.
