If it's 100% full you'll probably spill some, but 3/4 should be fine.

When the assembly is removed doesnt that make a hole in the bottom of the tank untill the new one is inserted?
Nope the only holes in the tank are on the top.

If you have never replaced a fuel pump of any kind , you will want to let the dealership take care of this for you.

Nope, the lines won't even be connected to the tank during the job.

Gravity?
You said the pump was removed from the top right? So if the top and bottom are open what keeps the fuel inside?

The bottom is never opened, there's no penetration or anything on the bottom of the tank.
The top has penetrations for the filler line, and a relatively large opening for the fuel pump/level detection assembly to drop down into (that has a gasketed cover that bolts on)
Stealing image from Ford Parts:
The part in the box is the fuel pump/level assembly
No holes in the bottom of the tank unless a tweaker stole your gas. These pictures should help.
Ahh...thanks, boy was I out to lunch.The bottom is never opened, there's no penetration or anything on the bottom of the tank.

Seems like years ago i changed a pump with a similar arrangment from inside the vehicle. There was an access plate when removed allowed the assembly to be removed without removing the tank.....maybe was a German car???...don't remember
Dosen't look like a bad design except for having to remove the tank.
Two finger removal I like that....No filter or at least a screen? Looks expensive.
