and risk causing a spark with the drilling process?

...

what I did with my bike...was take the fuel lines out of the carb and feed them into a jerry can, started the bike....SOMEHOW as I was turning the key it was chugging out all the fuel until the battery died.

A spark in the bottom of a full tank would do nothing.

drilling the tank is fine!
Or run the fuel pump on positive, connect a tube to you're fuel rail and let it do the work

That's got more chance of exploding that drilling into the petrol, it's the fumes that ignite, liquid petrol is fairly hard to ignite.
