How do you depressurize the fuel system when remote-testing?
So, I've read on the forum to get some longer feed and return hoses, prime the pump with the rails uninstalled and "remote," and check for leaks.
However, what's the proper method of depressurizing the system this way? I can't exactly start the car and pull the relay, since the rails aren't installed. Or, is the system not exactly fully pressurized, and gently pulling the hoses is perfectly okay?

Hell, even if the system is fully pressurized and you open a line, just hold a rag around the fitting when you take it off and youll be fine. It only gonna spurt once. I dont know where the test port is on these cars, but their might be a little schrader valve somewhere.

Darn....I was planning on lighting a cigar to celebrate a non-leaking system. Or, a cigarette to help me relax when I'm frustrated at a leaking one.
Thanks, guys.

Yup, just remove the fuel cap and have some rags handy. Won't be a big deal.
P.S. No open flames or cigs in the area
