Default Gas Tank Removal

Is there any tricks to removing the gas tank on a Fuel Injected model? The manual I have only covers the carbuerated models. I was wondering how to disconnect the feed line? Is there anything special that I have to do being that it's a pressurized system?Any help would be appreciated.

there is a quick disconnect on the line from the tank, just push up on collar and it will release, there should be no fuel coming out of tank because it will shut off once disconnected, the only problem is the equalizing hose on the front from side to side, you have to be certain the tank is empty because there is no way to keep the gas from coming out, so just plug the hose and nipple on the tank or drain it. remove the dash panel by removing the nut, then unhook electrical. anymore help just holler.

Yeah gas coming out of that cross over is a bitch. Read some where where to clamp(2) the hose then cut it. Replace hose latter.

I wonder if I got me a fitting to stick in the quick release mounted on a hose if it would drain??????????????
