Default Need help clearinf fuel sys

Hi I run the engine till it dies and it still has pressure in the feed line, and gas squirts all over
when I disconnect from the pump(1985). I need to check the gauges
last 1/4 movement and am trying to not spill. any trick I am missing to remove the pressure completely?
Thx

I just recently did my injectors. Hook up fuel pressure gauge to fitting on rail and bleed pressure down with gauge then unscrew gas cap to remove any built up pressure in the tank.

Will try from rail too thx.
I believe it is fixed, there is a tray at the bottom of the tank, and
I think my float was hanging up on the edge of it. I bent the float out(left)
a little and tested the range of lights. Seems to be accurate now.
