I used to think that was important but not so much anymore. Maybe if you want to see how close it is getting you can open one of the unions at the injector to see when it starts spurting fuel, that means it is getting close.

Simple gravity acting on a fluid when you opened the closed system. Actually it probably drained back into the tank. If it happens by itself then you have a problem with a leak.

OK good to know that can work. Hope it holds up!
