Fuel System Pressure Release

CAUTION: ALWAYS relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection-related component. DO NOT  allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components.
  1. Pinch shut fuel supply line to transfer pump from fuel tank. With a large container under pump and reservoir, disconnect output fuel line to drain reservoir and relieve pressure. Using shop towels, clean up any fuel spill escaping container.
  2. Locate fuel pressure testing port on end of fuel rail. As an alternative fuel system pressure release, open port slowly, use clean shop towels to absorb fuel.
WARNING: Fuel will be discharged. DO NOT  disconnect any wires that could cause electrical sparks. DO NOT  smoke or work near heaters or other fire hazards. Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
