Luckily I started doing this about 30 minutes after I drove for a long time, but before I got too far into it I was interrupted for an hour by a phone call.
when i did my fuel filter, i disco'd the fuel pump and let the car sit awhile. even then, when i un-did the hose, a small squirt of gas managed to shoot right over my catch-container and onto my headlight, instantly covering it with small spider-cracks. next time, towels, tarps, and newspapers everywhere! now i'm patiently waiting for the smallcar.com replacement headlights
