Subject:      fuel system depressurization
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Last night I was thumbing through Haynes and found the fuel
depressurizing section.  I seemed to remember that there was some
difference between the Digijet and Digifant, but couldn't think of it
when we were talking about swapping out the fuel line.

On the Digifant, you just remove the fuel pump relay (left rear of
engine compartment) and start the van until it runs out of fuel.

However, on the Digijet, this won't work.  The fuel pump relay
controls both the fuel pump and the injectors, so if the injectors
don't fire, you still have a pressurized fuel system.  You need to
disconnect the ground lead on the fuel pump, then start the van to
burn the fuel.
