When I changed mine, I don't think mine is an LTZ but I think the parts are the same, despite having the gas cap off, there seemed to be some pressure on the line. Once I released the hose with the quick disconnect, there was a spray of gas that was probably about 3tbsp. I had some trouble getting the (metal) hose disconnected with the wrench and in retrospect suspect it would have been easier if I had released the quick release first. However, once both sides were disconnected, there was no additional gasoline spillage.
