How do you replace fuel filter with aftermarket fuel pump?

I have the warbol fuel pump and when i take out the fuse for the fuel pump i guess it only deactivates the stock one. Well in the instructions it says to crank the engine and then it will stall and you shouldnt be able to start it again after that but my just keeps starting. I did it 7 or 8 times. So i was just wondering how I should go about changing the fuel filter.

Does it start then shut off right away? If thats the case then most of the pressure should be out of the fuel lines if you already did it 8 times.

your title is confusing. Replacing a fuel filter with aftermarket fuel pump

Fuel filter change.

Open you gas cap, that will help depressurzie. Did you pull the proper fuse for the fuel pump? Keep cranking till it wont crank. You must have the wrong fuse if your car remains started and doesnt stall.

You could always let the car sit and dio it fresh in the morning, there will be no pressure in the line and no need to pull fuses. Just take out the old fuel filter and put in the new one.

If it's an intank walbro there should be no problems (just pull the fuse, open gas cap and release all pressure), there will still be fuel coming out, just not as much.

If it's an inline pump, then you need to disable it. It's probably hooked up directly to the battery, so just disconnect the negative going to the fuel pump.
