Need help in draining gas from the tanks and/or fuel rail

i'm a victim of my own stupidity this time... i don't think it can be any worse.
i actually had about a gallon of bad gas poured into my gas tank ( didn't really think over that gas goes bad after 30 days) ... and now my car won't start.

I need to know how i would be able to get the gas out of the fuel lines and/or the gas out of the gas tank, in hopes of gettin' the bad gas out. I absolutely need help, so detailed instructions or preferably pictures on how to do it would be great. thanks in advance

ummm gas last longer than 30 days. u might be able to get to it from underneath the car but u would have to buy a gasket. U could always go from up top like ur taking out the fuel pump and drain it with a pump.

lol wow guys, u dont have to get under the car to drain the gas! Pop the hood, right near your fuel rail, or i should say kind of on top of it is a Gold looking fuel line, its metal, unplug the rubber fuel line off the RIGHT side of it, then some sort of vaccum/fuel hose, put it on the gold rail, and then into a gas can, and start the car, since you took off the other hose and put on the new one going to the gas can, the gas isn't recirulating back into the rail, since you re-directed it with the other fuel hose. just let the car idle and keep an eye on the gas gauge.
