Draining the fuel tank

I have bad fuel in my front tank and need to get rid of it. What is the easiest/best and safest way to drain the tank? Any ideas or links would be appreciated...

can you just us a small hose and drain it out though the filler neck??? syphon (sp?)it out until you get it as low as possible and dilute the rest of the fuel by filling up the tank. might be able to do it this way and not remove or undue anything. good luck

home depot or menards has a little pump that you attach to your drill and it will pump it out. I use it to pump out the engine oil in my boat motor all the time and it was under ten bucks
