changing fuel pump, drain gas tank?

[slo_k20]

i have about a half a tank now and am doing my fuel pump install in a few hours after i come back from class. i looked in the service manual and it doesn't say anything about draining the fuel out of the tank, do you have to do this?

[dustyboner]

no, you don't need to drain the tank.

jimmyjames covered this, not sure if it was the old or new ephatch.
he mentioned something about a cable being very easy to kink or something, yours could have been about to kink and it kinked from the pressure or something weird.
