Not too much: get a suitable tool for the {3-sided screw} or build one, and first loosen all the screws by only about 1/4 turn (so that the lid doesn't bend due to the pressure of the sealing ring). When contracting, it is reversed accordingly.
If you want to avoid spilling diesel, before removing the cap:
1. Disconnect the leak line to the pump at the nozzle and use a large syringe to pump it in until it starts bubbling in the tank.
2. Detach the return hose from the filter and seal the pump side.
3. Resolve the initial flow at the filter and hold it in a container.
4. Use the pump to re-pressurize the pipe line. This forces the fuel (painfully slowly) out of the intake.
5. If approximately 50 ml are in the collection container, reassemble the hoses. Then you can remove the pump cap without making a mess.
I'm about to start a new thread about another theory of rumbling. Please also check everything else for compliance with the RWG.
