Just get a couple of big jerry cans, half on the tank ended up on my head when i emptied mine last!!!

this is gonna seem like a dumm ass question, but whats the point in changing the fuel tank?

On Fuel Injection cars the petrol tank is a different type, so if you were upgrading an engine that would be a reason, also if the current one is leaking, that would be another reason.

Like already said Jerry cans, do it outside too. Take your time.

Stick a small pipe in the filler hole, make sure the can is below the tank and suck on the pipe, make sure the pipe is clear so that as the petrol comes closer to your mouth you can put the pipe straight into the can. Gravity should take over and 1 empty fuel tank.

so there is no difference between a gte tank and a normal 1.2 tank?

yes AndyJ - the GTE is injection, most 1.2 cars are carb except for the 1.2i ;)
