Default depressuring fuel

So I am just about ready to pull engine out. I just have to disconnect the fuel. How can I depressurize it? I see there is a quick dissconnect at the fuel rail but I dont want to pop it off and have fuel go everywhere. Any suggestions?

The other way is to press the shrader valve on the fuel rail and have a cloth to catch the spray. The shrader valve is where you hook a fuel pressure tester.
