If the pump works, draining it at the rail is still easiest/safest. No siphon, no removal of filter or anything. Just hit the key, or jump it. All the fuel will pump out. I do it all the time.

And dont even disconnect the line, just use the test port on the rail. Small black screw on cap.

Already got it all out, thanks!

To add to the "clever garage tips" theme, i recently needed to take my coil springs out and had the hardest time. Well i came up with a clever way.

1. Lift the front end with a jack as high as possible.
2. Position two jack stands under one side of the car, in such a way that they are each on a different side of the axel.
3. Put a HD piece of steel through the coil spring and let it rest on each jack.
4. Lower the jeep and let the coil compress under weight.
5. With a hammer, hit it off the mount so when it re expands it doesn't re sit on the mount and it expands wildly onto the floor.

Keep this going!
