How do i take my fuel tank off without getting gas every where?

i have a 2006 gixxer 750. i know there's a screw to lift the tank up so you can change the air filter and everything. then how do i unscrew it from where it pivots up so i can take it off? how hard is that to do? then what about the fuel line? how do i take that off? how do i keep gas from coming out? thanks everybody!How do i take my fuel tank off without getting gas every where?Use an old rag and a pair of vice grips to pinch the line to stop the flow of gasoline.How do i take my fuel tank off without getting gas every where?Close the valve , if there isnt one then plug the line with a boltHow do i take my fuel tank off without getting gas every where?I took my tank off w/out getting gas everywhere. Follow the manual's instructions for shutting off the valve first. It's much easier to do everything if you have someone else to help you. It's also easier when the tank isn't full, b/c it can be awkward (for me, anyway).How do i take my fuel tank off without getting gas every where?What no petcock(or is that a relic of the past)?

Yeah, pinch off the gas line is the easiest way.
