I have a fuel injected '91 and I want to replace the fuel filter. I looked it up in my Haynes and it said to remove gas cap, negative battery cable and in order to relieve the fuel pressure you have to use a pressure guage, (except you remove the guage portion) and hook the hose up to the check port on the fuel rail. So, basically it is just a hose w/ the correct fitting for the valve and it just drains the fuel that's in the system. Autozone doesn't rent pressure guages, so I'd have to buy one and it's $37 - kinda a waste just so I can change my filter. Is there another way? Could i just loosen the filter and let the fuel drain form there? I know I have the potential to get soaked in fuel this way, but I don't think my system holds pressure that well anyway b/c it takes long to start unless it was just run.
