Default 96 Dakota problem

Ok i just totaled my '96 dakota and i was wondering how could I drain out the gas tank. It wont start and i just filled it up the day before. I dont feel like giving close to 20 gallons of gas to the insurance company, they are already gettin enough outta me. Thanks ahead of time!!

First off, sorry for your loss, and welcome to the forum, although its because of your loss.
You can probably disconnect a fuel line, and cut the wires for the fuel pump and run it striaght off the battery until the flow stops.
I'm currently on my way to Iraq, so needless to say, my wiring diagrams are far away from me. However, I believe I or someone else has posted the wire colors, just do a search.
