How to drain old Fuel from Tank?

I wanted to know if draining the fuel tank is as simple as unbolting the nut from the bottom of the fuel tank and letting it drain? Or do I have to relieve the fuel pressure some how before attempting to loosen the nut?

Thanks in advance,
Snoop Dogg

Ditto. I've seen people do it trackside to switch out to race gas, it's a simple procedure. I would think you would need to open the gas cap to vent it so you don't have it "glug glug".
