How do you relieve the fuel pressure when changing the fuel filter?

On a %26#039;98 Chevy 1500 pickup? Do you just not start the truck for a day or so?|||residual pressure is truly not enough to cause a problem. just wear your glasses and all should be fine. i have done thousands of them over the years.never had a problem. |||thats one way but its just easier to save the fuel that falls off so just take it out|||That%26#039;s the easiest way and requires no extra tools. Just let it sit overnight and change the filter the next day. If you would rather do it the same day, let it sit for a few hours. You will still get some fuel out of the line no matter how long you wait.|||either through the schrader valve, or just loosen the filter and let it spray until the pressure is gone. Another way is to disable the fuel pump and run the engine until it stalls.|||i believe you unscrew the fuel cap and start the engine to decrease pressure
