VA injector removal; strong gas smell

What do you all do when you yank out the injectors to prevent super strong fuel smell. I yank out 1 injector today in my garage today and stuffed the opening with a plastic bag, but the smell is outrageously strong all over my house....haha I'm afraid to smoke a cigarette within 50ft of the house. Any recommendations on what to do? I'm about to pull out the primary and ship it out for a couple of days, just don't want everyone to get nauseous or sick off the fumes during this time and I'm not sure how long RC takes for turnaround time before I can plug it back in.


Any suggestions would be helpful!

Depressurize the fuel rail by opening the gas cap and then bleed whatever is left by pulling the fuel sending line off over so slightly.

Where do you keep your car, in the living room?

I depressurized by running the motor with the circuit relay pulled out, is that enough for the the pressure to be gone? I ran the motor for about 5mins but I cut it off because the motor wasn't stalling out yet...how long does it normally take for the motor to run with without the circuit relay?
