Default Empty fuel tank using fuel pump?

I've had gas in my fuel tank for almost a year now while doing my engine build and it wasn't stabilized before hand. I honestly didn't think the build was going to take that long. Would it be okay to hook a hose to the return line and jumper the fuel pump relay to pump the fuel out of the tank? Any opinions?

You could, but it would be better to use the fuel line to the engine to drain the fuel instead of the return line.

Actually 1 yr old fuel usually is OK, but may smell a little funny as long as you do not run the vehicle hard.
