Had a fun time with this job a couple years ago. You can barely fit any wrenches up there!
Book says to pull EFI fuse to kill fuel pump, start car up and run until it dies, then turn engine over again to "be sure". Also remember to pull the gas cap to kill pressure in the tank. Don't put it back on until you're done, the pressure in the tank will build up over time.
I've never had any problem with just taking off the gas cap though, and haven't had any gas feeding back from the fuel lines...maybe I'm just lucky.

I changed mine when I dropped the tank to change my fuel pump. I've never replace one when the tank is still in. I heard it was hard.
decent walkthrough on how to change it and shows location: http://gallery.sanitylapse.com/v/supra/Fuel+Filter+9-9-06/
