Remove the gas cap, and look for a Schrader valve on the fuel rail to release the pressure. If there is none, then just wrap the connection with a rag and expect a sudden burst of fuel when you disconnect the filter. Make sure the rag is covering the connection and Let the rag catch the small amount of fuel that will escape. Just be very careful not to get the fuel in your eyes or on your face as it will spray.
