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



Hi thanx all for the info

i've done it now, just unplug relays and crank, then virtually
nothing comes out.

by the way, is a pig of a job to do, a tiny hole to work through.

undid the one hose then pulled through the hole to undo the bottom
small hose and the other.

regards

Steve
