Default 1990 E30 M40 hot start problem

I read in John Burns about how to check your FPR:

<quote>
Probable cause is fuel pressure bleeding away. The FPR holds pressure
at
one end of the fuel rail and the fuel pump non return valve the other.
Clamp
each fuel line in turn after you stop the engine and leave for an 30-60
minutes.
If it starts you may have found the problem.
</end quote>

Has anyone ever try this procedure ? How to clamp each fuel line in
turn ?
