I would advise you to put a hose-pincher, or maybe just some vise-grips on
the fuel lines before you take the clamps off, otherwise you'll have a big
mess. You will still have some gas spill on the ground, and maybe on
yourself, but it won't be pouring out like crazy. And loosen the clamp that
holds the filter in place as well, because that little hose between the pump
and the filter is a really tight fit. It's also a good idea to replace that
little hose at this time too.
