Also a good idea to loosen the fuel filler cap to relieve any pressure inside the tank.
But don't forget to re tighten it when the job is finished.

If the line is only clamped on, just find a suitable size bolt and whack it into the fuel line.

I have had that happen but only if I have had a 3/4 tank or more of fuel and it generally spills from the top of the fuel filter. But you should be fine with 1/2 a tank or so.

thats what i was thought, reading the manual it tells you to drain the tank to avoid getting a syphon effect and losing a lot of fuel, but i figure if i just keep the fuel hose from the rail up higher than the tank all is well.
Thanks for the quick replies!
Back to it:)

Not necessary as you can just disconnect the fuel line from the engine and remove the engine separate to the tank

nope, you will lose a little when you undo your fuel lines but it will be fine :D

Just wondering is it really necessary to drain fuel before removing the engine? I still have half a tank there...
