somewhere near the engine there will be a shroeder valve that looks like a bike tire air valve that you push to release fuel pressure. if not you will have to slowly unbolt a banjo bolt somewhere in the fuel system just a bit, to releave any pressure and then tighten it back up. if the vehicle is not fuel injected, then don,t worry about it. just let the fuel drain in a bucket. i am assuming you want to change a fuel filter?
How do you depressurize fuel system to install filter 1998 ford expedition?
No, but it is safer if you do.
Pull the fuel pump relay in fuse box under hood and try to start car.
Remove gas cap and suck all gasoline from gas tank.
depressurize the fuel system by unplugging fuel pump fuse and run till it dies. disconnect top hose and "T" in with a fuel pressure guage
There is no fuel line shutoff, however, you can depressurize the fuel system. Find and unplug the fuel system relay. Then try to crank the vehicle. (It shouldn't crank.) Next, take off the negative battery cable for safety. There will be some gas in the lines, but it shouldn't keep draining from the tank. It shouldn't spray, but it will drain a bit.
Remove the fuel pump relay from the under hood fuse box and crank the truck until it doesn't try to start.
fuel filter should be located inside engine compartment monted on fire wall.remember to depressurize fuel system and DISCONNECT battery when doing this.
AnswerWith the engine running, pull fuse #1, the fuel pump fuse. Let the engine run out of gas.
to depressurerize the system you would simply take off the gas cap.(fuel will still be in the lines and it will spill when the lines are disconected but it would not be under pressure)

It is fuel injected.
