RE: [DML] removing fuel system pressure

I always remove pressure thru the cold start valve. Just wrap the fuel
connection with towel and break it loose.

Subject: [DML] removing fuel system pressure

Gang,

I recently acquired the big M5 bolts for the fuel distributor -- and 
while I've got it off, I'll be replacing the little O-ring underneath 
it. What's the best way of de-pressurizing the fuel system? I want to 
make sure I don't spray gasoline all over myself.

I have seen several answers to this question in the DML archives, but it 
seems to be the best way would be to trip the inertia switch while the 
car is running. If that does its job properly, it de-pressurizes the 
system and shuts off the car, right?

Cheers,
Farrar Hudkins
