Default Draining Fuel in tank?

I was under the car last night, didn't see a drain plug like on civics.

I have some fuel that was sitting in there since Oct of last year. Fires up ok, but I want fresh fuel for my tune.

Not quite 1/2 a tank I need to drain

Thoughts?

Pull off the supply and cycle the pump.

Your 05 should still have a return style fuel system, you can remove the return line from the FPR, and run a hose from the barb on the FPR down to a gas can and start the car. Then you just let it idle until it dies...

The fuel that would be going back to the tank from the FPR is now dumping into your gas can. I've done it this way, it's easy as hell, but takes a little bit of time. If you know a way to make the fuel pump run then it's faster to disconnect the supply to the FPR and run that to a gas can and start your fuel pump.

Or you could drive the car at low speed and burn off the old gas and not have to do any extra work
