    I know that there is a connector in the engine compartment that you can ground out and it will turn the fuel pump on so that you can just disconnect the fuel line and run it into a Gas can. Just make sure that you don't burn up the fuel pump by running it dry.

      I believe that there's a drain plug on the bottom of the fuel tank.

          Yup. Actually it's a black connector with the female spade connectors situated in a "T" configuration. Simply jumper the 2 female terminals and turn on the key.

          IF it's a stock tank it should have a drain plug towards the driver side. I'm thinking it's a 17mm, but I could be wrong.
