I've got a bit of Gas - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK, so I've got a dumb question (surprise)....

Replaced the bit of flex fuel line tonight between the hard line from the tank and the fuel pump. Was looking cracked and worn, figured that it was an easy replacement. Took off the gas cap to releve pressure and yanked off the old hose. The damn thing was squirting gas like Ol' Faithful. After dumping about $8 of old dinosaurs on my arm, garage floor, frame, hat, etc. I got the new line on.

I thought opening the tank would relieve the pressure and keep the lines from pumping. What am I missing?
