There is a fuel shut off lever under the front of the Quad for the fuel shut-off switch............You can remove(the line) this to drain if you like..........Caper.........
Are you just trying to get the old fuel out?

you also might have to but a little new gas in when it gets down to the bottom to flush out any that didn't get drained or remove the gas tank. imo

take the side panels off, look at the bottom of the gas tank find the lines that come out of the bottom , follow them to the gas valve, unhook them and drain , be carefull that you dont break the gas valve

No plastic removal needed you can see the fuel shut-off just under the quad above the front axles near the frame..........take the fuel line off there to drain........May want to put a new filter on also if the fuel is bad enough to want to drain...........Caper........
