BX2350 - 50hr coming this weekend

[c-and-a]

I know this topic has been beat to death - I have read several threads top to bottom full of tips/tricks - I am feeling very confident but have one remaining question that I am sure many may laugh at...but I have to ask...

When replacing the fuel filter - the only tip I have seen is to duct tape up grips on vise grips and clamp off the fuel line to avoid fuel spill...

Can I expect a "flood" of fuel when I remove the fuel filter? Is there a better method?

Also - I know I may not need to replace the fuel filter at 50hrs, but if I am "getting dirty" I usually do it all at once, needed or not...especially for the first go-round...

Insight appreciated!

I clamp the line for the first change and install a valve back before the first filter so now it is easy.
