changing fuel filter

[70 RAT]

Hi all...my newly aquired vehicle is a '95 Pathfinder V6...is there a fast and easy way to change the fuel filter or do I have to remove the fuel pump fuse and release pressure etc...I was hoping mechanics on this board could advise if thats required or not. Thanks.

Its always best to relieve fuel pressure to prevent excessive spillage. Gasoline doesn't make a good cologne.

Start the car and pull the fuse or relay and let it stall.

Just change the fuel filter after the motor has been off for 2 hours, the gas will dribble out.

I changed my fuel filter on my 92 sentra, I relieved the pressure and I advise you to do that. Also, I am a member of NissanForums.com, they have tremendous amount of info there for my sentra,maybe also maybe there are lots of info about pathfinder.just check it out!
