Changing fuel filter and pulled out the fuel pump fuse while engine is running to relieve pressure but engine?

Im trying to change the fuel filter in my1998 gmcsafari.I pulled the fuel pump fuse to relieve the pressure while engine is running but after I remove the fuse the engine just keeps running.Afraid to remove the filter because I think its still pressurized.Any suggestions please!|||I%26#039;d suggest pulling the relay rather than the fuse, but it will continue to run for a bit until it has used the fuel in the line. Just let it run until it dies.|||i wouldn%26#039;t be afraid of the pressure in the filter, is in minimal, it will not cause any damage to you or anything else, when removing the filter there will be a little squirt of petrol, but nothing massive, so dont worry.





there is no need to depressurize the fuel filter





hope this helps|||Just go to the fuel rail and remove the cap on the fuel rail valve to get the pressure out of the system.
