Just be advised that if you haven't drained your fuel bowl in awhile, after draining and replacing the filter, you may end up having to replace the O-rings on the drain valve. The last time I changed my filter, job went just fine and then the next day I developed a leak from the drain tube. I think the o-rings were stuck in place, then when I drained the bowl I loosened them up and then they leaked.

So, just keep an eye on it for a few days. If you start smelling fuel, or notice it on the ground, this is the likely culprit.
