azxr Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I am going to change the fuel filter this weekend on my car and replace a faulty injector. Is it necessary to have a fuel pressure gauge with relief valve to release the pressure or can I just put a rag or hose over the schrader valve and release the pressure that way? I'm just not sure how much fuel will come out and I don't want to get an unleaded bath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedjunky Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 There should be a one way clip (flow wise that is) on the intake side, *if you have the appropriate tool* you can release that clip without getting sprayed. Also, you probably have an inertia switch that thows in case of a collision. Find it and make it trip so if you do open a line it's not gong to keep spraying.

CBRXX Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Yea, the rag will do. Watch your eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Wear glasses and gloves. Push the Schrader slowly. There's about 45psi in there, and you'll get around two ounces out. What brand car? Most Ford and GM will need a spring connector tool to remove fuel fittings. Almost impossible to release without that. I can lend you a set of spring clip tools if you need them.
