fuel system question

[96gtchinook]

Is there a valve on our cars to depressurize the fuel system?

if not, which way do you do it?

There's a switch in your trunk for the fuel pump. It's on the passenger side. Unplug it. Then start your car till it shuts off. That might be anywhere from a few seconds to a couple minutes. Now your fuel system is depressurized. :thumb:

p.s. That switch for the fuel shutoff is located behind the trunk panels.

It's also been said that you can just unscrew the gas cap. I wouldn't trust that too much though.

if your removing the fuel rail i'd unplug the sensor in the trunk then relieve the pressure by starting the car. that way there is no as in the lines when you pull it off.
