hmm, that shouldnt be happening if the car is off. when i changed my fuel pump, i ulled the lines and only a bit came out (this was after leaving it overnight when the other one crapped itself).

I think it would only piss out petrol if u change it straight after driving, or if ur ignition is on, but obviously u wouldnt wannna leave it on while u change the pump.

goos luck with it

yeah mine died at night, i had another one and knew how to do it, but had no light, so i called the useless racv guys to help, and the guy was like " its not a job for us"..all i wanted was a bit of light and some tools..farrken pissed me off,, anyways lol i had to wait till the morning.

A few hours should get rid of the pressure,, hope it goes well

but yeh i pretty much did mine striaght after a drive, just pull the hose out and aim it down the side of the tank. Itll only drain out probably a litre max.
