Very easy..
I'd empty the tank first if you can.
Unlatch and lift the tank.
Remove the thin drain pipes (if they're still there) careful as the plastic fittings the pipes fit onto are not exactly the most robust things.
Remove the fuel lines, these are quick release fittings (if they're still there) and come off pretty easily.
The hinge pin is retained by a single spring clip, pull out the pin and put the tank down somewhere.

Take about 5 minutes or maybe 15 if you have hassles with the fuel line fittings.

My "if they're still there" caveats are because you see some where a previous owner has had problems with the fuel line QR connectors and just hacked them off then replaced with jubilee style clips. Not so good but functional.
