Fuel filter location and removal/refitting

[ed_172_cup]

Where is the fuel filter on my car and is the approved method to depressurize the fuel system the same as with most cars ie. start the car then unplug the fuel pump fuse (not actually checked if theres a fuse for the pump?). any pointers/pics would be handy!

You only need to worry about changing it if its a 172mk1. As they have the filter under the car.
