    Wear some safety glasses just in case. You can start the VX, pull the electric fuel pump fuse, and immediately turn it right back off (if you don't it will cut off a split second later on its own) to let the engine take out the extra fuel/pressure in the line. I just used a pair of those pistol grip-type clamps and cranked 'em as tight as I could on the lines to pinch off the flow. Then all you're dealing with is a bit of fuel still in the filter itself. I personally hate the clamps that are on there so I bought some hose clamps that have the screw adjustment on them so you can just tighten them down with a screwdriver.
