I need to remove the tank for pump replacement.
I would like to remove the fuel filler pipe in order to more easily get a siphon hose in there (it has nearly a full tank of fuel).
How does the filler disconnect from the tank? Which way do I push the plastic tabs to release the fitting? It seems to be on pretty tight; should I be able to rotate the filler on the tank neck like we do with the smaller quick-connect fittings?
Will fuel come gushing out of the tank filler neck when the pipe comes off, or do I need to try to get the fuel level down somewhat first?
Regarding the vent line, it appears that I should pinch the tabs toward each other to release the fitting. Is that correct?

P.S. Is it possible to siphon/pump from the delivery or return line at the fuel rail?
