How do i relieve fuel pressure

As the tiitle says how do I relieve fuel pressure on a clio 197/200

I'm not sure as the pump is in the tank along with the regulator as far as I know!?!

Why would you want/need to anyway?

Hmmmm iv been read so where there might be a screw there to do something with it

I'm putting on new inlets that have been matched but I never took the old ones off
But could I just unbolt the fuel rail from the plenum and get around it that way? Or would fuel just start pissing out of it?

if you leave it a while the pressure will drop anyway

so if left overnight cannot see much pressure being in there

Hmmmmm I was hoping to do this tonight if my plenum is in, want it done for Saturday a few hours to relieve presure would be enough?

But if I'm only in bolting the fuel rale from the plenum would it be ok to just leave it as I'm only moving it out the way

Just talked to an ex rally mechanic and he seems to think I'd be safe enough just in bolting the rail without disturbing anything pressurised
