I just used a towel to soak up all the fuel that was in the lines. But be quick about it, or the gas is gonna get everywhere.

make sure your head is NOT below it. an ear or eye full of gas sucks butt, so does gas in the nose and mouth

Remove the line that goes from the tank to the pump, then start the car untill it doesn't start anymore. Eventually all the the fuel will be gone from the lines.

Check that site for the write-up that I used awhile back.

What he said but you will still have a little gas come out of the lines so just have a rage there snd you will be fine.

1. unplug the wire hareness to the fuel pump
2. turn over the car until it stalls. turn it over 5 more times
3. there should be no gas in lines
p.s. make sure u have under a 1/8 of tank of gas!!!
