Now, as for purging the fuel lines, or letting the truck sit forever, or tripping the switch under the passenger kick plate, there seems to be a lot of mixed results. The one thing I know for sure, if you drive your truck and then immediately try to remove the line (even after opening the gas cap), there will still be pressure built up that will cause a spraying of the fuel as you remove the line. I would recommend waiting an hour after last use before removing the line.
On the 03's, you will disconnect the input fuel line by simply pushing up on the white clip by hand or perhaps using a small flat head screwdriver. Once the clip is up all the way, slowly pull the fuel line off. DO NOT POSITION YOURSELF DIRECTLY UNDER THE FILTER WHILE DOING THIS. Using Josh's trick, place an empty cool whip bowl or a cap off an aerosol can on the frame rail just below the tip of the filter where you are removing the line. I found it best to tilt as much fuel from the filter as I could at this point.
On the exit side of the 03 (and both sides of prior year models), you will need to remove the safety clip before moving on to disconnecting the line. Simply push the large loop of the safety clip in toward the fuel line and slide out of the way.
