Look on the deck for some round inspection plates. Either twist or pry off. That will usually give you access to your fuel sending unit. You can get a good idea of the fuel tank layout from there.

If it's not leaking you really don't want to know the answer.

Sorry about my reply - thought you wanted to remove the tank, not the gas. From other posts folks recommend a siphon method. Just have plenty of cans laying around to catch it all. Find that inspection plate for the tank itself. Remove the sending unit ( might as well clean it good while out ) and use that as your access point for your siphon hose. Just need to make sure that your receiver cans are lower than the tank - obviously. I would even remove my battery cables before. Probably not needed but why not?
Again, sorry about my previous post ( I'm old )
