I changed the fuel filter in the Rodeo last weekend... done many, and gas always seems to spew. I have hose clamps that I clamp on the in and out tubes, but there is still gas in the filter which WILL come out when tipped.

The tubes can be somewhat of a bizzle to pull off... which ends up jerking the filter and spewing gas. I use a tin coffee cup to catch gas and it works ok. I like the golf tee idea... but the hose clamps seem to work just fine at keeping gas from, yes, spewing out of either hose when taken off.

Anyway, it's a (somewhat) relatively easy process... just take hoses off, take out filter, put in new filter (note flow direction), and put hoses back on... sometimes things just aren't as easy as they seem!
