go underneath your steering wheel. Between the gas and brake pedal. Look up. Theres going to be a plug with 5 wires going into it. it plugs into a relay. pull it out. that is your fuel pump relay. Turn the car on let it die, crank it and if it doesnt start your good

I know this is an old post, But it could help those that need to cut the fuel(release the fuel pressure)
open your hatch.
remove your driverside rear speaker cover.
pull back the carpet slightly and you will see a plug.
while the car is running disconnect the plug and within 5 seconds your car will die.
your fuel lines now have no pressure..
before you start the car up after finish the job you've done.
plug in the plug you disconnected earlier.
under your hood near the back of the intake box locate the yellow plug that is hanging freely.
use a small wire or paper clip and bridge both holes of the plug.
turn your key to the on position and youll here the fuel pump priming your system....
once its primed the fuel pump will stop pumping within a few seconds, if it doesnt you have a fuel leak somewhere in your lines and you should look into it..
turn the key off and take the paperclip or wire out of the plug.
your fuel system has just been primed and your car is now ready to fire up....
you can also use that yellow plug to check for fuel leaks..... how you might ask? if your fuel system is leaking the pump will keep pumping due to the fact its thinks the system isnt primed yet.
hope this helps anyone reading this...

This is especially true after the car sits for a period of time. I've always changed the filter after letting the car sit in the garage overnight and never a problem, just some residual fuel when the lines are removed. Now, if you're going to change the filter or remove a fuel line right after the car has been run, I'd be cautious.
