Thanks.
I just got done changing it. The man at the auto store told me to just take the gas cap off to releave the presure. Not sure if this helped but there was very little gas. Thanks again.

I just let the vehicle sit overnight to relieve pressure and haven't had a problem yet on any vehicle.

Changing fuel filter. Thanks.
its an easy four step process to find out:

step one: get owner's manual out
step two: open owner's manual to index
step three: find "fuses"
step four: open to fuses page.

and presto all you fuse definitions and locations.

I have already completed the filter change, but the owners manual does not identify wich fuse is the fuel pump fuse.

I stand corrected, you are right there is no "fuel pump" fuse.
