Default Injector swap question

When I pull off the fuel rail from the intake I know I won't get fuel spill. But when I remove the injector from the rail, am I going to expect a lot of fuel coming out? Fuel lines still attached to the fuel rails.

What would be the simplest way to do this without fuel spillage?

Rags are sufficient. Of course release any pressur via the shrader valve first.

I just finished. Wasn't that bad at all. Only took me 30 minutes to complete the install. My intake is painted so I had to be careful not to spill fuel on it.

As I popped out each injector, only a very little amount of fuel spilled. No pressure in the lines. Just use a few rags/towels to cover the engine bay. I would also recommend to take an air hose to the area where the injectors connect to the intake to remove any dirt and dust before you pull the fuel rail off of the intake.
