Default Fuel Line Pressure

I am going to replace my spark plug wires on my 03 FLHTCi and have to take the gas tank off (Despite what some say there is no way I can do it without at least partially taking off the tank). Does anyone know how long the fuel line stays pressurised, like is it at atmospheric pressure after an overnight break. I am lazy and dont want to mess around taking out the pump fuse and running it until the gas has gone.

FYI. Answered my own question today. After leaving the bike overnight there was no residual pressure in the line and I was able to disconnect the fuel line as is.
