Changing fuel filter
How do you disconnect the fuel lines from the filter? The connectors look like they just pull apart but I can't get the lines off the filter.

You have to press down and hold the green areas of the connector, then they will slide right off. I found it helpful to use the flat of a flatblade screwdriver to help.

just pop the gas cap and have a bucket under the fuel. It's at the lowest point in the system, so gravity's still going to push everything out of the lines that's already sitting in them.

That's the best way to relieve the pressure. When I changed my filter I couldn't get it to seat until I realized the morons at the dealer gave me the wrong size. Luckily I had another car to drive to get the right one.
