Fuel filter replacement on 2000 S40

Has anyone had any experience with replacing the fuel filter on a 2000 S40? I have had an impossible time finding a repair manual for my car and have always performed this on my cars. On this car, I do not how to replace or even where it is. Usually there is a way to relieve the fuel pressure before changing the filter so I thought I would ask to see if anyone has done this before.

Thanks,

Jay

I found the fuel filter and replaced it. It was fairly painless, other than the fact that it is way under the car and a pain to even get to. My car has 97,000 miles and I have been having trouble with hesitation under hard acceleration and rough idling. Changing the fuel filter initially appears to have corrected both issues. Thanks anyway.
