Fuel Pressure Relief when you can't run the engine...

I'm pretty much ready to pull the fuel lines off and it's one of the last things I'm doing... and I never relieved the pressure. How should I do it now?

Oh and the search function seems to be useless to all my needs.. the forums hate me! ;P

Meh, everytime I've pulled it, I forgot to release the pressure. Even when my car sat for aweek before I pulled it, there would still be a bit of pressure. Enough to cause a small spray.

It just sprays everywhere (think eyes, mouth, nostrils, clothing)...

Don't do this with a hot exhaust or shoplights or you may have a fire...

Put rags around the union as you're pulling it apart so the fuel has somewhere to go. Duh.
