Anyone know if I can take the tank off my bike and turn it upside down to replace the petcock gasket without all the fuel leaking out? Or do I need to drain the tank first. I know- can I stand it up with about a half a tank and take the petcock off?

Sure ya can, just be careful to not tip it too far, as gas will run out the filler cap, don't do it by candlelight!!! You may just want to get a bucket and switch petcock to prime and drain the gas to avoid the hassle of trying to balance the tank with the gas in it though, makes life easier -
Pretty good advice from a Jackass husband. Ok Dave I'm sorry for telling your wife that she has a jackass husband.

A couple of weeks back when Daves wife was in florida taking care of her sick mom, i called her on the phone. I dont remember how it came about but i called Dave her wacko husband. Dave has been punishing me ever since as i see it. I like and have a lot of respect for Dave. Even if he is a %$#$%$#Comment

What I did
I have a wood work bench in the garage.. so I tacked a small piece of wood on the bench... about 6 or 7" from the back of the bench to keep the tank from slipping forward. Turned the tank on it's side with the valve facing me, and in the up position. Then rested it on the back of the bench. No leak's, and I had over half a tank.
Hope this helps.
