W202 '94 Merc C220 petrol fuel filter change

This is filter type.
Are there any tasks to perform before unscrewing the two pipes?
Thanks

Just put a rag underneath and watch your eyes as the pipes may still be pressurised and you may get an initial squirt of fuel from it as the pressure is released.

Thanks for that.

No fuses to pull out then. The hardest task will be getting the rusty filter clamp loosened but will just give the threads a good dowsing with DW40 a day or two before I do the job.
