Re: fuel line disconnection
Man, there's a common misconception that this thing will just spray gas everywhere once the line is disconnnected - NOT TRUE! Pressure is created by the fuel pump in a tiny little fuel line. Without the fuel pump turned on, any remaining pressure will be released within less than 1sec after breaking the line. If the trucks been sittin' around for awhile, it's doubtful that there's any pressure in the line whatsoever. The gas is not jam-packed in there so tightly that it'll gush. It's essentially the same thing as disconnecting a brake line. Yes, gas is going to drain, but as long as you were smart enough to have a rag handy, it won't be an issue.

The main issue is all the fuel laying in wait inside the fuel rail. Try to pull the rail with all the injectors still attached and there will be little problem. However, once you lose one, all the gas in the rail is going to drain out through that port. If you manage to get it out without breaking a connection, take it to a safe container where you can drain it... or just let it drain into a rag... that was the original plan anyways, correct? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
