this is a fairly simple process. 1. Detach the fuel pump relay- in the fusebox under your dash, it's the twelfth relay- the one on the very right in the bottom. 2. Detach the negative wire of the battery (if you have an original stereo, make sure you have the code because otherwise it will be blocked) 3. Try to start the car. Crank it several times if you need to until you can't start the engine 4. Raise the rear of the car and remove the wheel that is closest to the filter (the right one usually) 5. Detach the bolts that hold the fuel filter (or the plastic harness it may be in)
6. Note the position of the filter and mark the in and out hoses of the filter.
7. Loosen the clamps on the hoses and pull the hoses out gently, holding the filter horizontally to prevent the left over fuel from spilling. 8. Put everything back together, tighten all bolts, put the wheel back, lower the car, connect the relay, the battery and start the car :) It may take a couple of cranks at first.

How do you change a fuel filter in a 1997 Honda Prelude
Go here for pictures and a good description on how to do the work yourself. http://nofreerides.blogspot.com/2006/07/20055-a5-jetta-tdi-fuel-filter-change.html
The fuel filter is underneath the car on the right hand side by the back door. It is real simple to change and easy to access it.
You should change your fuel filter every 90,000 to 100,000 miles.
Drain the fuel from the fuel tank. Remove the fuel line from the fuel filter. Remove the fuel filter plate. Remove the fuel filter retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new fuel filter.
every 130,000 miles :)
I am having trouble finding the fuel pressure relief valve on my 1997 F150 pickup.
The fuel filter on the 1997 Silverado is located inside of the fuel tank.
screw it off
The water separator for a 2003 Jetta is built in with the fuel filter. It is located at the bottom of the filter, and should be drained every 10k miles. If you are performing your normal 20k service maintenance you probably don't need to worry too much, due to the fact that you change the fuel filter every 20k miles.
