There should be a shrader valve (like on a tire) at the end of the rail.
A hose with a screw on fitting will release the gas into a suitable container, or use something pointy to push in the stem, gas will spray everywhere.

OK, I tried that but there's no gas going thru. I only have an 1/8 of a tank of gas, could that be the reason why I don't seem to have any pressure in the line? Thank You

It means there is no pressure in the line, which is what you were looking for judging from your origianl post.
To get pressure, just turn the key to ON w/o starting the engine. The fuel pump should run and pressurize the line.
