I just did mine today and I just went at it. A little bit of fuel came out, maybe a few ounces. I laid out some paper towels in a pan to catch the fuel without splattering. 10 mins. BTW, I thought it wasn't good to run a EFI engine dry?

Just pull it!! Wouldn't worry about running it dry, you loose maybe a few ounces of fuel. It isn't near anything hot, so wouldn't worry about sparks or heat starting fire. No worries man, I just pull mine everytime.
