drain plug for fuel tank?

Someone told me that the '84-'85 FB's had a drain plug for the fuel tank. Are they full of it or is there one? I crawled underneath and didn't see one, but maybe I didn't look hard enough. Any of you know where it may be if it exists?

Oh, the car in question is a '84 GS. Thanks.

Oh, it's there alright. A nice little bolt that should thread out pretty easy.

Sorry RotorMotorDriver (I hate typing your name, just to let you know ), only came on the series 3 (84-85) I believe.

Yeah, my '84 GS has it, and its towards the from of the fuel tank, slightly towards the driver's side, I believe.

Hmm, my 82 GSL parts car's gas tank has a drain bolt on it. I'll be swapping it into my other car since the other's gas tank leaks up by the filler when it is really full.. Not sure if my 82 GSL runner has a drain on it or not.
