If you are re-commissioning and will probably only fill the tank immediately prior to a start up, I think there will be little chance of any fuel entering the crankcases. Once you have her up and running there is a (small) chance it could happen, but only after a fairly prolonged stand, say a couple of weeks.
I have the habit of just pulling the bike level and glancing at the oil level window before each cold start, that simple practice should give you all the warning you need, to save from detonating the whole shebang!

Manual tap sounds like a good idea.
