Default Easy Drain on Gas tank?

I own an 87 crx and was wondering if there is any easy way to drain some old gas that has beeen sitting in the tank?

is there a plug on the bottom of the tank or is it even exposed on the bottom?

I think there is a bolt for 92-95 I don't know if that helps. Another option is remove the fuel pump and syphon(?) some out. then add fresh gas or fuel treatment.

jack the car up.. look around on tank for a drain plug.. it should be like a 17mm bolt.. in one of the corners..

Should be a drain plug however use the old stick a garden hose in the tank filler tube to the bottom of the tank, and use the syphon method just don't get any in your mouth, nasty **** right there. Also a nice reference for if gas goes up high again and you have neighbors that leave their cars sitting on the street and don't have gas cap locks
