I replaced my sediment bowl about a year ago. I removed the fuel line from my carb, and slid a clean 2 foot section of hose over the end as gas started pouring. Other end of the hose went to a gas can large enough to hold all the gas in the tank.
If my fuel shut off valve were working I'd have turned the fuel off first, but it wouldn't shut off, that's why it was being replaced. :-)
Anyway, open the valve all the way to allow all the gas including the reserve to drain out.
Remove the upper end of the fuel line from the sediment bowl.
Unscrew the sediment bowl and clean the filter.
While I was at it, I also cleaned the filter in the 90 degree bend fitting going to the carb.
Re assemble everything, pour your gas back in the tank and away you go. I don't remember spilling more than a 1/4 cup of gas this way. Most of that was from the lower end of the fuel line, and that could have been avoided had my fuel shut off valve actually shut off... The rest (a few spoonfulls) came out when I removed the sediment bowl.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
