Sorry , no pics but you need to pull the fuse for the fuel pump , run the car till it shuts off.. It probably wouldn't hurt to open the cap and push on the schrader valve to make sure theres no pressure. Then using a set of line wrenches to remove the filter, be carefull not to mess up the o-rings , or better yet replace the o-rings with new ones....WW

That valve you speak of is the Schrader Valve, its on the passenger side fuel rail, it has a small cap on it and if you press the center of it with a small screwdriver you will find out real fast if you have pressure in the system.Watch your eyes ,hold a rag over it for safety.. Its still a good idea to pull the fuse and run the car till it shuts off before touching the Schrader valve..This is the only way to get rid of all the fuel...WW
