Jo, the tank's fuel valve is vacuum operated. No vacuum, no flow. So there's no 
problem removing the tank, just disconnect the vacuum line, the fuel line, the 
fuel sender wires and vent lines at the rear.

By the same token, if you want to empty the tank just pull the fuel line and 
direct it into a suitable vessel. Then apply vacuum to the vacuum spigot on the 
valve and fuel will flow.

I use a Mity-Vac to suck on the spigot, but you can do it by mouth. It's clean 
and doesn't take much vacuum.
