I am in the middle of changing my LIM gasket. I want to completely remove the manifold so I can clean the sealing surfaces. But one thing I didn't think about was removing the injectors or fuel lines. I read the factory manual about how to release the fuel pressure but it requires starting the engine. Now that half of my engine is apart and I can't start it, is there any other way of releasing the fuel pressure?


Thanks,

 

I've read about people just popping the gas cap off. It doesn't release all the pressure, but usually enough not to hose you down with gas.

Just pinch the fuel lines before disconnecting them and you should be fine.

 

Bump.

Does this work if I want to change my fuel filter? (Can't start my car, fuel is still pressurized..)

 

I've read that opening the gas cap and letting the car sit overnight works pretty well too.
