depressurising fuel system without battery

[nalchlan]

hey guys whats a way to depressurise the fuel system in my vs without taking out the fuel pump fuse and running the engine, most accesories are of and there is no oil so running it is not an option

[FstStig]

Don't worry about it then. The only way you can depressurize the fuel system is by taking out the fuel relay and fuse and cranking the car, sometimes they will kick over, other times they wont. If you have no battery in you're car you can always hook up a Jumper pack to you're Positive and Negative and try and depressurize you're fuel system that way.

thanks for the help, do you mean to say dont worry about having no oil in the engine? and all of the sensors and rockers are off aswell..

[BottleFedVS]

wear safety glasses & undo the hose & pull it apart,as you've gone too far to depressurise it the other way.

Just take the hose off, and dont stare at the hose while you're pulling it off and you'll be right.

Could have had it done in the time you've been waiting

Removing the front fuel rail tube carefully will do it too.

[Jarryd F]

undo it with a rag around it. does the trick, wont spray and wreck your paint.

They have a valve on the fuel rail.

where is this valve ben? i cant seem to find anything like it around the fuel rail. thanks in advance

[FstStig]

WTF? Off the drugs mate, they have no Valve around the fuel rail....

Probably the best way is to take out you're fuel filter out first. Should let any pressure out without having to much fuel come onto you.

If the car hasnt ran for a while(week or two)then it probably wont need depressurising anyway as any residual fuel pressure slowly drops away over time...Ive undone the fuel systems on a couple of these cars that had been sitting for a while and they didnt have any pressure left in them..

[VrWagz1]

As Brett_jjj say's, the pressure is probably already dissipated. But, like above take some precautions when pulling the first hose off just to avoid getting it your eyes. Your not gonna get a high pressure fluid injection from it or anything.

[nalchlan]

thanks to everyone for their input. ive just unbolted everything around it and now i just rest it above the booster. if the pressure goes away ill just pull it apart in a few days, hasnt run since sunday. cheers

Sorry mate, I just checked my VS (NA6) and there is no valve... My VX (L67) has it, assumed it would be the same...
