Default Draining Sportster Fuel Tank

I have an '09 Sportster 883N and I am wondering if there is a quick disconnect or something simialr to be able to drain the fuel tank. I don't have the service mannual yet so thought I would ask on the forum. I want to install the tach kit and it loooks like I will have to remove the fuel tank to reach the wire connectors.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Alan
