Replacing Fuel Filter On 86' Firebird???

I am wanting to change my fuel filter, but have a question, on when to change it, when I have a full tank of fuel. Should I raise the front end, so gas goes toward the back or does that make no difference?? Anyone please answer soon and thanks.

it won't make any difference. whatever is in the lines will drain out but you shouldn't have any more than that.


do yourself a favor and soak the fittings with PB blaster a few times a day for a few days before you try to remove the filter.

Same as above and use line wrenches ONLY do not use regular open end at all.
