Fuel system depressurization
Can I just take the gas cap off, unplug the fuse from the engine bay fuse box then run the engine till it dies? Or will the lines still have pressure in them?
I don’t want to have to take out the rear seat and fiddle with the carpet if I don’t have to.

Edit- sorry, I missed the part about pulling the fuse for fuel pump first, yeah that will definately speed things up but my way is faster and gets all the pressure out.
Fast and easy way I did it is I made sure the engine was cold and not driven that day just to be sure.
Then I unhooked the battery for good measure and cracked the banjo bolt loose on the fuel rail.
It leaked some gas but not much and I padded the area underneath the area with rags.
Also, I made sure when I cracked the banjo bolt loose I didn't get any gas in my eyes or mouth. lol
It didn't spray much and was only for a split second and then some gas dribbled out, no big deal.
Takes 2 mins to do it. Cheers!

You can do that if you'd like to wait all day or maybe even days. lol
