So i just went down and tried it and i live in apartment building mind u where im not even allowed to wash my car. I loosened the top one and realized i was not down for doing it. Tighted the top clamp and started the car and it started idleing up and down like crazy. Drove around the building and it took a couple minutes at least to work itself out but ftw? i didnt even take the line off? Did air get in there or something. Yours truely, Scardypants ---

When you’re dealing with the fuel system,always relieve the system from fuel pressure unless you want to be covered with fuel :P. Just a heads up ---

Was just a burp itll be fine. Go take the car down the road and do it. Dont be worried its not hard if u spill a little gas. Just because there will be pressure in the line. For some reason ive always found that when i take the gas cap off and let the car sit for like 10-15mins the spray back is very little. I dunno if that makes sense to u or to anyone else but it helps lol ---

To take the gas cap off was in the DIY post i saw so i think your right. Would make sense. It would probably inerupt the air pressure so it didnt keep siphoning. ---

taking the gas cap off is part of relieving pressure, but taking off the fuel pump fuse also helps. Takes like 5 minutes to do anyways,so why not lol ---

i never did any of this… i just took off the top clamp bent hose up and took off bottom making sure not to let host fall and swapped in a new one… i guess i did it wrong :S had fuel on my hands 😛 and a little on the ground…
