Default Relieving fuel pressure before removing intake?

Is there a way to bleed the fuel rails before disconnecting the fuel lines? Or is there something else to be done before removing the intake manifold?

The schrader valve at the front of the rails.

You can also start it up and pull the fuel relay while it is running. It will run out of fuel and die, leaving no pressure in the lines and less mess at the schrader valve.

You do not want to run it lean and out of gas just to clear the lines.

I would not see the harm of doing this at idle. I did it several times on my old setup (which is still running strong to this day) with no issues.

shouldnt have any problem... your hardly using any fuel at idle... nor is there enough revolutions to cause any heat to detonate. plus timing is non existent at idle.
