The drain is located on the passenger side of the fuel filter housing. Usually a yellow lever but I have seen them black. Just turn the lever 90 degrees and let it drain for about 30 seconds and you're done.

Yea - depending on what year you have it's down in back of the fuel filter housing - can't hardly see it.

The drain outlet is on the passenger side and is close to the front of the block.You got to crawl under the passenger side and look for a 1/4" dia.+/- metal drain tube.
Do yourself a favor and cut a length of old garden hose and slide it over the outlet and drop the other end of the hose into a jug.
When you open the drain, fuel splatters on the ground and around the motor if you don't direct it into a container.

I second the motion of cutting a piece of hose to catch the diesel since it stains the pavement.

If I remember correctly, I think you need 5/16" hose.
