#349098 Yeah, you should let the car sit for an hour or so, then remove the gas cap and relieve the pressure at the service bolt on the fuel filter. You'll still have a little fuel drip out of the lines but if you don't relieve the pressure, it's enough to create a hazard.

The OP probably had let the car sit for days.
