Drive it until it's as low on fuel as you can get it. Wear nitrile gloves. Lay a sheet of Oil Dri under the car prior to working on it. Have a large deep pan underneath to catch lots of fuel. Prepare to take a diesel bath -- unfortunately, if your in-tank screen is clogged at least part-way up it, you are gonna get wet. Last one that I did had a screen that was nearly completely clogged, yet the car showed 1/4 of a tank -- and you cannot drain it via the hose ('cause the screen is clogged!). So the main thing is to set expectations properly (read: gonna get wet!) and anything less won't be too bad, right?
