Question
I am trying to replace the fuel filter and the manuel i have say remove fuel relay to de-pressurize the fuel system. Please could you tell me were to locate the fuel relay.

Answer
Geoff,
I am not familiar with the relay box of the Pajero, but there are other ways to de-pressurize the fuel system.  First, you will want to remove the gas cap.  You can look under your steering column for the fuse box and there may be a fuse a labeling of 'fuel'. If you can find any fuel related fuse, pull it out and try to start the car.  If the car tries to start and then dies, that means your fuel pump has been deactivated.  You can also locate the fuel pump (their in the cargo area or under the rear seat), and disconnect the wiring harness.  With power cut to the pump, the system will de-pressurize when you try to start your car.
Good luck!
