Cut the crossover and replace with a quick disconnect fitting.

Do you have a service manual? It's in there. Your fuel system is under pressure so you'll need to pull the fuse and cycle the the FI system to release the pressure. If you don't and cut the crossover line you'll get a big blast of fuel.

Actually, the crossover isn't pressurized. But yes, you should cycle system to relieve pressure because you can get a pretty good squirt out of the quick connect under the rear left side.

He has a 2009. There is no crossover tube.

I know that much, I don't know the best way to drain it though.
