Default Old fuel

Hi curious I have old fuel to remove from my 2002 SS. I see the front box for fuel relays. Can someone explain how I can jump these to pump the fuel out?? And lastly how do I disconnect the fuel supply line to the fuel rail,if that's the best way? I hate to go under the car and disconnect the filter. But please let ma know what's the best way to do this.. Thanks this might be my first post ever? Even though I have been a member for over a decade.

Jump the relay. Use a piece of wire to pins 30 & 87. Should power it up and pump everything out. To disconnect the fuel line you need a disconnect tool, they can be found at any parts store for a few bucks. Might as well grab a fuel filter while you're there

1/2" plastic line down the filler neck to the bottom and let it siphon itself out works good. Goes faster than you think it would.

Just had to pull 25 gal out of my truck, the fun..
