    if i cut the fuel line for my inline filter, the gas should NOT just pour out of the tank because of the negative pressure vent tube right?

    or did i avoid a big mess by NOT cutting into it last night...

    If you have the petcock set in the the ON position, you should get a slight residual dribble and that should be it. If you have fuel pouring out, your petcock needs to be rebuilt.
