and disconnecting you battery terminal is jsut a waste of time...
I know however, I don't want to give advice on something and leave anything out so I included disconnecting the negative terminal because "its what the manual says to do" but yeah it is a waste.
lol i hear ya, i like your style, straight from the manual! too many people around here give bad advice, its better to over do it than give retarded advice.

honestly i have NEVER depressurized a fuel system either, but since your likely doing it on the ground and will not be able to quickly move out of the way of the spraying fuel, it might not be a bad idea... i always have a hoist to do it on at work or a creeper at home so it doesn't matter much, it will however still drip like was said above so try to stay out from under it or you will be stinky.

if the car has been sitting awhile then you probably dont need to worry about depressurizing the system.
