Exactly how I do it and have many times to replace fuel valves . I have a couple of 5 gallon cans and I run the fuel line over the fender to the open end of the fuel line ( carb end) and into a 5 gallon , of course keeping 1 eye on the increasing level while doing other work.

I would never take the fuel line off inside to drain. It's a safety common sense thing.
