Evening chaps. Hope you're all well and all happy after the return of the stink pink 

In preperation for my Cam Cover job at the weekend I have some Q's (sorry, I know I'm a pain.... but hey this is a car forum  )

Ok, first things first...
Here is the wording from the guide on how to remove the inlet bridge:

Now de-pressurise the fuel system by removing the black plastic cap at the rear left of the injector rail, surrounding it in a dry rag and pressing the centre of the valve in.
 
Disconnect the air pipe from the fuel pressure regulator. Unplug the injector loom and remove the 6 securing bolts which hold the injector bridge assembly to the inlet.
 
Un-bolt the feed and return unions on the fuel rail(Caution some fuel will escape so surround it in a rag)
 
Remove the inlet bridge and injector assembly.

Ok, so I understand that to de-pressurise the fuel system I remove that valve cover (looks like the valve cap on the tyres) and presumably fuel will piss out and I should press down whatever lurks beneath that valve cover (sorry, never took it off).

Now the rest being 100% honest I don't know what/where these are:

Air pipe from the pressure regulator
Injector loom
6 securing bolts (can't nip out to check on the car as it's not here but not worried about these as I'm sure I'll be able to see them)
Feed and return unions (Are these the two that have the yellow fuel warning labels on?)

If anyone could advise or provide an idiots pic with arrows that would be sweeeet.

Valve is just like car. Not much will come out, so just a rag under it. More will come out when you undo fuel lines later.

The pipe is obvious - goes from ICV (non DBW) or Throttle body (DBW) to the fuel pressure reg.

Its all quite obvious when you get down there

Thanks mate. May sound like I'm worrying but just really want reassurance that if I undo the wrong thing I won't A.) fry myself or B.) bake the car.

Also , dont have a tab while you undo the fuel rail ...combustion is likely at a fast pace  Health and safety an all 

Like the no nonsense diagram

Spent a while working on someones car once with the fuel system in bits - he stood there and chain smoked next to it.. some people!

Incidentally, I didn't read (ahem) the bit about using the valve to release pressure when I did mine; so I just cracked the unions off with a towel under them. Nothing bad happened

The price of petrol now i'd be sucking the towel and spitting it back in the tank
