To drain the tank nice and slow- well, very slow- disconnect the hose from the fuel pump (between tap and pump). Stick the hose into a bucket/fuel can/whatever. Now apply a vacuum to the tap and it'll open, and drain. You can get practically the whole lot out this way without ever pouring petrol over your feet. But it's really slow.
