fuel pressure relief
Remove the bottom hose first and it is less likely that fuel will spray everywhere. Plug the hose with your finger to limit amount of lost fuel. I agree that waiting a few minutes from a warm engine, or doing this on a cold engine is best. I have seen several filters changed without removing fuse/cranking engine, etc.
Cold engine. Remove the fuse and start the car. When it dies start it again. Keep doing this until it cranks for 10secs without starting. wrap a rag around the fitting you wish to disconnect. Have a lot of rags ready, and somewhere safe to throw gas-soaked rags. Wear those blue nitrile gloves or your hands will smell of wash-proof gasoline for 6 hours.
(There is no schrader valve on the fuel rail in this car, so you cannot bleed off the last of the pressure that way
