Books often advise relieving the fuel pressure before undoing fuel lines.
I never bother.  Just cover the line with a rag as you pull it off.  No big
deal.
Don't be smoking while doing this of course.

If the fuel pump has been run recently there will be pressure in the
fuel lines.  However, even then, the volume of fuel that would be lost
will be small.  Less than would be expended doing an "Injector spray
