The message "Fuel filter to purge" still appears on the dashboard

Impeccable except that my filter is completely blocked! Impossible to unscrew, do you have a tip please?

Take a hollow tube to extend the handle of your wrench to duplicate your force

OK, I put the jack but afterwards, the view does not allow me to know where I am on the car ... nor at the end where you put a view of the entire housing where you loosen the filter. Are we at the front somewhere under the engine or at the back under the tank area or nearby? The position of the jack is not enough to understand. A short explanatory sentence would prevent novices from asking this kind of question?
