Default Draining Fuel and Fuel Pump Question

I need to drain the fuel in my 05 that has been in there for over a year. What is the best why to do it on a tC and where do I look for the place.

Also, I have a Walbro 255 fuel pump installed and I changed the car back to stock with stock injectors. Is it ok to leave the 255 pump in or should I get a stock. If I do get a stock will it be hard to convert back?

I rather not change the pump if I don't have to.

how much fuel is in there? if there isn't much, why not fill it up and throw it around some hard corners to mix it up and burn it out? might run alittle crappy until then...

but if you must drain, don't you also have to bleed the fuel lines too since that gas will also be old, also, the lines may be clogged.

and lastly, next time you leave a car in storage with gas for a year, be sure to use some fuel stablizer!

Walbro pump will be fine. Pill the line off at the rail, stick a hose on it and run it down to a gas can. Pull the fuel pump relay and hot wire the pump with a jumper wire.
