November 14, 200520 yr What should I know about changing the fuel filter on my fuel injected 1.8 that would be different from changing the filter on a engine with a carburetor. Is the gas going to spray all over when I remove the lines ??

This will pull most the gas out the fuel lines so you can change it.
