don't some have an inline and a tank filter?

A 93 suburban will require two wrenches - either a 19 or 20mm for the filter & a 16mm/ 5/8" for the lines. The OEM & quality replacement filters will take the 20mm, cheapies the 19mm. If you change it after it has set for several hours there is usually no pressure left. Do not turn on the key as that will pressurize the system. Loosen the gas cap so that pressure in the tank won't cause a fuel spill. And don't forget to tighten the fuel cap when you are done, on some models a loose cap will set a trouble code.
Hope this helps.

Newer models require a special tool for "spring lock" connecters. Just one more tool to buy!
