Depressurizing Fuel System

Hey everyone, I’m in the middle of installing lt4 injectors and hpfp in my 2016 Camaro ss.

Im a noob and forgot to depressurize the fuel system before pulling the blower off.

What would be the easiest way to bleed the pressure from the fuel rails without putting it back together? Is there a Schrader valve anyway on the fuel rail that I’m not seeing?

Thanks in advance

Yep. Get a rag or two under/around the connections the best you can as it’ll definitely spill a small amount, but it’s nothing crazy.

I agree with what has been said. You’re not going to see or hear much more than “Pfffft” when you disconnect the lines.

I agree with the above, not depressurizing. I've taken these high-pressured fuel lines off at least a dozen times, not a big deal.
