Sometimes, if you can find it, some remove the fuel pump relay, the pressure contained in the system from last run will be used up on the next start up with relay removed... engine will die after a few secs'. Then remove pipes (some require special removal tools for plastic fittings to filter, or press in locking tabs and slide off pipes from filter). Filter will always contain a fair amount of fuel though, so have a container ready to catch the excess.

You don't. Just make sure the key is not on (best to not have it in the ignition at all) When you loosen the fuel filter, the pressure will relieve by leaking on the ground. Expect less than a half cup of fuel to leak out from pressure. The remainder fuel will be from inside the filter housing. Get ready to get your hands soaked in gasoline. Dont listen to that guy.
