Basically you undo the two bolts at the front of the tank, and prop it up. Then disconnected the petrol pump's power lead, and fiddle with the fuel line until you can disconnect that from the pump.
Then, undo the pivot bolt under the rear of the tank. Then, holding the tank, giving it a wiggle, pull the bolt out. Then you'd better be ready to carry it away - hope not too much petrol is in it!

dunno whether to drain the tank first?
what i'm trying to get at is the drain tap, mine has come away from the main body of the tank. i've tried a few things, such as putting a blanking grommit over the hole to stop fuel escaping. this works but it obviously prevents water draining away that may collect in the filler cap well. my last effort will be to try a bit of araldite see if that works before i go to the more considerable expense of a new (or recond.) tank.
i've tried arc welding but it was too tricky, too volatile....
