When I changed my fuel filter gas continued to pour out of the rear fuel filter line. It was not a trickle. Is this occurrence normal?

Hi,
The system was under pressure. It isn't uncommon for this to happen because it starts a siphon and the fuel will continue draining.
I attached the directions below for you and a link showing in general how it's done. Look through them to make sure everything was done correctly. As long as there are no leaks now, you should be okay.
