Remove the gas cap. Now look on the fuel rail under the hood for a Schroeder Valve which will allow you to release the fuel pressure. If you find no valve then just be prepared for a spray of fuel when you disconnect the fuel filter. Wrap a rag around the coupling and as you disconnect it the rag will prevent the spray of fuel. Just be ready for that spray and after the initial spray you can catch the rest of the fuel in a container. That may be a cup of fuel at most.

The fuel filter is below the car on the drivers side approximately below the back seat. Look for a cannister about the size of a "red bull". One end is a threaded connector and the other is a plug-in. Open the gas fill cap and let the system relieve pressure. When you pull the filter, about a pint of gas will fall out.

How do you relieve the fuel pressure to change the fuel filter on a 1999 CRV?
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. You can relieve the gas pressure by simply open your gas cap and leave if off the entire time when you're working on your fuel filter. Some fuel will still leaks out from the fuel filter but at least it's not going to spray on your face.

I found out you don't have to relieve the pressure to replace the fuel filter. Only small amounts of fuel stay in the old filter, so when removing it, place in a plastic bag or other container. Mission accomplished. To relieve the fuel pressure all you have to do is remove the gas cap.
