Once the pressure is released, I removed the valve needle from the test port (you can do this using a fine pair of needlenose plyers, or a schrader valve removal tool), and connected a piece of long 5/8″ hose to the port, with the other end going to a gas can. Warning: The fuel rail can have 40+ PSI of pressure in it – you MUST use caution here, as gasoline will not only spray out of it, but any nearby spark can also ignite it! If you don’t have one like this, you can also simply hold a rag over the test port and use something skinny to press the valve in on the test port, but see the warning below… Fuel rail test port – Buick Grand National I happen to have a Craftsman fuel pressure gauge that has a release button (with a little offshoot hose), so I connected that to the test port of the fuel rail on the engine, and released any residual pressure it had safely into a container. Since a fuel injection system is usually under pressure, the first thing is to release the pressure off the system if the car has recently been run. I just drove the car until it appeared to be empty, and found that indeed it only had a couple gallons left.

Fortunately, the 1987 model being offered in Arizona is closer to its original condition. Its engine had been moved into the trunk for the occasion. The other Buick Grand National used in the film that still exists was the one customized for the reverse driving shots. The scene involved a gas tank robbery and a high-speed chase in reverse, performed of course by Dominic Toretto, the character played by Vin Diesel. The Grand National going up for sale was seen in the opening scene of the movie. One of the two Buick Grand Nationals used in the fourth movie in the Fast and Furious series will be offered for auction at Barrett-Jackson's upcoming event in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Jan.
