How much detail do you need? Don't take this wrong, but if you're doubting how this is done, (and it's pretty simple), are you the right person for this job?

Anyway, step by step:

1. Take off the bits that bung up the holes in the tank, by the use of gravity and positioning the fuel will fall out.

Some tips:

It would be easiest if the tank wasn't connected to the bike, it will be very heavy to lift if it still is.
It would be best if you had a container to catch the fuel that emanated from the holes in the tank, it would be a bit of a waste otherwise, not to mention the possible slip hazard and fire risk.
