Do not attempt this yourself unless you are a trained professional with the proper safety equipment.
If you suspect a problem with your fuel system, such as a leak or unusual pressure, here's what you should do:
1. Turn off the vehicle completely. This includes removing the key from the ignition.
2. Do not attempt to release pressure yourself. Do not touch any fuel lines or components.
3. Contact a qualified mechanic or towing service immediately. Explain the situation and let them handle the pressure release and diagnosis of the problem. They have the tools and expertise to do it safely.
Attempting to relieve pressure yourself could involve disconnecting fuel lines, which releases highly flammable fuel into the air. Even a spark from a tool could ignite it. This is not a DIY project. Your safety and the safety of others is paramount.
