I just loosen the bolts on the regulater slowly, while tryin not to get sprayed in the face (put a rag over it). Make sure not to lose the o ring under it either.

if theres any fuel pressure in the system it will releave it all. so yes it will releave the fuel pressure at the rail, now some gas is gonna come out but it wont be pressurized which would be a bad thing

[&:] Definitely not the best route to take.

Get a Helms manual, all of this stuff is explained in detail. Although their process is a bit over the top IMO.

Like rice said, just pop open the gas cap
