Changing fuel filter on 97 Saturns SC2. Where is the fuel pump fuse?

I need to relieve the pressure in the fuel lines before i disconnect the fuel filter but i can%26#039;t figure out which fuse to pull. There are too many acronyms on the fuse box cover.|||It%26#039;s a 10amp located in the instrument panel junction block (accesible from the right side of console). Also in the same panel is the fuel pump relay which you can just pull out...





Run the engine till it stalles out.|||I dont know that Ive ever seen a fused fuel pump. The owners mannual should have better view of what fuse does what. Ive never removed a fuse- when you turn the fitting to loosen the filter, it will bleed the pressure and when its gone, remoe the filter. Most are under the car so wait until the engine and exhast has cooled off before removing the fitting and wear safety glasses so no gas blows into your eyes in case you loosen it to much.TtT


PS- if you find a fuse- pull it- start the car and wait until it dies from lack of gas then remove the filter. I am going to ask my buddy(professional mechanic) about fused fuel pumps.
