It does no harm to disconnect the battery when working on a vehicle but in general no, you do not need to disconnect them to change a filter.

How do replace fuel filter on a 1985 Lincoln Town Car?

You will need a simple inexpensive tool to disconnect the lines from the filter. Your local auto parts store will have the tools you need. Warning! The fuel system will be under pressure. Before disconnecting the fuel lines from the filter, remove the fuse and/or relay for the fuel pump, then try to start and run the engine until it runs out of fuel. The pressure will be greatly reduced when you disconnect the lines from the filter. Be prepared for some fuel loss. Replace the fuse and/or relay only after the filter is replaced and reconnected. Run engine and check for leaks.


Trying to relieve the fuel pressure to replace 89 Ford Probe fuel filter per Hanes book it says to disconnect the fuel pump relay until the engine shuts off.Ok but can't disconnect the relay.?

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.
