I feel that trying to bled the fuel system is much more time consuming
than if you were to just go and break the torque of the filter bolt with
a rag sitting on it to keep the fuel from flying all over. The resulting
"squirt" is but a millisecond anyways and not really a problem. To me its
not worth the hassle, but that's just me.
