Depressurizing fuel lines myth 200

"I've heard of disconnecting the fuse that runs the fuel pump, then starting the car, and that way you don't have fuel pressure issues when you open the line. Just a thought."

Please don't pass that myth around. It doesn't work. Think about it: How will you start the car with no fuel pump?

There's no fuse you can pull without stopping the engine and leaving residual pressure in the lines. Just loosen a fitting and wrap with a rag to catch the small amount of fuel expelled.
