Because fuel stored in the fuel rail will be at 3.5 bar pressure, it is essential that the fuel
pressure is reduced before any dismantling of the fuel rail takes place. To reduce
pressure, briefly crank the engine with the fuel pump fuse removed.
When disconnected, the fuel tank is self-sealing but a small amount of fuel may
dribble from the hose.
To protect the components under the fuel tank, place suitable material over the
components to absorb the small amount of fuel that may come from the fuel tank and
its fuel lines.
