Default Replacing injectors, prevent gas spillage

How do you drain the fuel from the fuel rails before you pull the injectors? I pulled the pump fuse started the car several times then pulled the injectors still had a ton of fuel spill out. Does anyone have a trick to prevent the gas from spilling out. I have to install the injectors at a shop and would like to have the least amount of gas spill out.

Default RE: Replacing injectors, prevent gas spillage

You will never eliminate fuel spillage, unless there has never been gas in it. Once pressure drops, the car shuts off, but it does not use all the gas in the line. Relieveing the pressure is just for safety's sake. What little gas that comes out is minimal anyway. Nothing can be done to change that.
