Re: [doc] Re: urgent-how do i depressurize the fuel system?

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The system is under 5 bar at running pressure, at rest, it's under 1.5 
bar or so, which is still enough to hit you in the eye and to dump quite 
a bit of fuel if you crack a hose off. Leave it overnight and it'll just 
dribble.

5 bar isn't much in the general scheme of things, but it's still too 
high for a jubilee clip, which is why I think certain "repairs" I've 
seen to replce a seized fuel filter elbow are playing with fire (pun 
intended).
