I need to replace the leaking gasoline shut-off valve and gas line running to the fuel pump. I will order new parts.

I am scared to work around gas tanks. Does anyone out there have some good suggestions on how to safely approach this issue? The tank has about 5 gallons of gas in it. I know I have to put this gas in a container, however, I'm very concerned about the vapors and a potential explosion. Any thoughts on how to handle this situation that will put my mind at ease?
