Where and which fuse needs to be pulled to relieve pressure so the fuel filter on a 2000 Explorer XLS can be replaced?

Removing a fuse will not help. Remove the gas cap. Also look for a Schroeder Valve on the fuel rail. You can relieve pressure there. If none, then just disconnect the filter carefully and expect a spray of fuel, and use the proper precautions.

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.

Not a lot of info to go on here. Was it starting fine before filter change? If so did you remember to relieve fuel pressure before removing old filter? If not, problem may be Ford's infamous safety shut-off switch. Also make sure filter is installed correctly. (Arrow pointing towards front of vehicle.)
