Hi

i know its obvious, but just to add, best to drain tank first out in 
open away from any source of ignition even static off clothes can 
ignite petrol vapour. and a "empty tank" is never 100% empty.

keep a fire extinguisher handy. you may be surprised how poor the 
system is in the tank. i replaced mine and the fuel pick up, boot, 
filter and pump where all pretty long gone (although mine had been 
standing 13 years!).
