jromols400 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I need help with changing my fuel filter. When changing the fuel filter I had taken off one end of the fuel filter and it would not stop pouring gas. I had relieved the pressure in the tank by removing the gas cap. Is there anything I can do to stop the pouring gas from coming out. Disconnecting the battery??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo57509 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 After removing the fuel cap, did you replace and tighten it? I have found this really doesn't relieve all the pressure. You might want to park the car overnight and then try replacing the filter. Generally, I usually disconnect the power to the fuel pump or remove the fuel pump relay and crank the engine over for a short moment to relieve the pressure. Typically, fuel will dribble from the line but it shouldn't pour out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
