is on the bottom of the fuel tank no need to pull off the tank. I use a socket wrench with an extension. just put the extension in the little square hole and start turning.

I come from a land down under
I'd just unhook the fuel line from the rail put a hose on it into a can then jumper the fuel pump relay, if you pull the drain plug you better have a 30 litre+ container ready as there's no stopping it once the plug is out short of getting a gas shower...

Buy a pair of chemical gloves and stick the plug back in when you fill a gas can up. Use a few 5 gallon gas cans and a funnel, or maybe buy a few of those 5 gallon oil change pans that have a closed top and a built in funnel. You'll still make a mess. The gas just pours out so fast.

First thing you do is disconnect the fuel line and direct it into a bucket. (big hose and gas cans help here)

Go to the diagnostic connector under the hood and connect FP to B+ and turn the key on. That turns the fuel pump on. Watch the gas pump stream, once it starts to peter out pull the pin back out of the diagnostic connector.

To be honest I would never suggest draining the tank with the plug on the bottom, they always seem to leak afterwards. I've pulled a full tank down by myself and while its not the easiest thing in the world, its far from impossible and saves from the leakage! (i.e. doing the job again)

I drained about 9 gallons of gas from the drain plug. I ended up using lots of buckets/gas cans. It is pretty messy and a shitty process. It is quick, but I would go about the cleaner way of doing it with the fuel pump.

Also, don't throw your glove into the wind and have it be blown into the huge ass bucket of gasoline. BTDT.
