Hi.
I decided to change the fuel filter on my Corsa B 1998, 1.4.
I found it next to fuel tank. But in the Haynes manual it says that I need to depresurise the fuel sistem first. But I don't realy understand how to do that. Is that ok if pull the fuel filter off and put the new one instead? Is that a rocket science?

Thank you.

Just make sure the engine has been turned off for a while. You will get a little petrol sprayed out, so I recommend finishing your Marlboro and putting it well out before you start the job.

Ok, I've done that
