A further thought on the subject since I'm also going to change my FF on my 94 vert.
It says in the Haynes Manual to relieve pressure in the system by disabling the fuel pump (taking out the fuse), then to start and run the engine until it dies. A further few seconds of cranking to make sure there is no pressure.
I realize that there is a hot catalytic converter to consider, other hot parts of the exhaust system to cool first, and disconnect the battery along with proper ventilation, but is it really necessary to run the engine to drain the system?
Could one not be very careful draining the lines by loosening the connectors and catching/mopping up the drained fuel? I'm concerned that refilling the system would put excess stress on, and overheat the fuel pump
Thoughts.
Cheers
Colin.
