fuel filter change question

I went to change my fuel filter on my 90 RS for the first time since I bought it (don't worry, it wasn't that long ago). Anyways I know the normal amount of gasoline lost should be about that of the filter and then a little. But mine kept pourring out. Is this a norm on third gens? I tried relieving the fuel pressure by opening the gas tank as well. Any thoughts? Thank you

Same thing happened to me the first time. What you need to do is take off your gas cap, start the car, take out the fuel fump fuse and let run until it dies (out of fuel). Then very little pressure should be left in the lines.

Oh yea, Ozzy for life here too!:rockon:
