use spit.


on & off a few times works.

You can remove the gas cap and let it sit overnight.

I've never heard that one before. How does that release the fuel pressure on the line to the injectors? Wouldn't the line from the tank to the injectors still be pressurized? That seems like it would release the pressure in the tank but not the line.

I was told that by another board member a few months back and it worked fine. Your FP always bleeds off and it should easily be down to 0 psi by the morning. Removing the gas cap helps if you have to disconnect the lines from the front of the manifold. If not they will leak fuel for quite some time.
