To be honest, not much fuel comes out when disconnected - a cupful perhaps and it's a trickle. Just have a container ready to stop it messing up the floor. The fuel lines on my 2001 1.6 are almost rigid plastic so I didn't clamp them. Hardest bit was depressing the white lugs on the connection. I found pushing the pipe further on the filter and then slightly twisting while pushing the white lugs with my index finger and thumb was the best way.
I can’t for the life of me find my fuel filter, c3 1.6 petrol. Is it possible someone could have removed it for some reason. P S, I service buses as my day job so I’ve seen all sorts.
Hi Radtjack. The fuel filter should be changed every 3 years or 37,500 miles according to the Haynes manual. Worth doing as the engine seems more responsive now.
Nice cutaway, thank you!

thank you for the information :) have a nice day
Thanks!
You actually want to pull the fuel pump relay first then run the engine until it dies , that way fuel is expended in the lines

Don't doubt yourself then, it's a chance it doesn't have a fuel filter 😉.
How did you know that it was time for a new filter?

Every year is best - it's not expensive and just part of the annual service pack
