Diesel fuel filter change

Hi
I have just joined the site as I am going to service my wifes zetec s as soon as the parts arrive. The service kit i presume will have 4 filters, fuel, oil, pollen and air. I have watched the video showing how to replace the air filter, and seen the guide about the pollen filter. I am presuming the oil is straight forward, subject to it being located in a sensible location. The only thing i am unsure of is the fuel filter. Is this straight forward? Does anyone know of a link orthread that i have missed please?
Any other general tips are most welcome, if the drain plug is in an awkward location for example. I service my accord myself but never done a Fiesta.
Anyway thanks in advance. I better locate what oil i need, and source the correct amount!

Cheers all.

Oil filter is by the air box need a 27mm socket be careful make sure the little raised part sits in the engine part correctly otherwise u get no oil pressure and bang
Holds around 4 litres of 5w30 I use full synthetic oil
Fuel filter depends on the age of the car olde ones 90ps are slight pain in the butt but easy enough to change no priming needed etc
