Is there anything that I should know before I start? For example:
Will I get a gush of fuel when I break open the lines? If so, how much?

I presently have a full tank of gas. Should I run it down first, or is OK to replace the filter with a full tank?

Any other tips or warnings?

Thanks in advance for your help.
