Default Need to take my gas out

Hey guys, new to the forum here... But I have a problem. Ive had my 2020 mx5 sitting for 3+ years... yes I know. Don't ask. Anyways I wanna get all the gas out without running it through the fuel pump or filters for that matter... does anyone know a quick way to do this?

if you don’t want anyone to ask then the only answer is to remove fuel tank .
But if you would answer a few questions you may not even have to remove the gas.

Actually Callisto was a toy figure in the collection created by Mattel in the 1960s under the Major Matt Mason sets and action figures.

So back on topic….
how much gas is in the tank
what was the brand gas used
what state do you live in

Is there a reason you don't want the fuel to go through the pump? I'd just drive it and burn it off. The fuel system is pretty well sealed so air can't get in there.

I don’t think he like my responses? They were valid to ask and would have effected at least what I would have suggested.

The only concern with your good idea is that in the US we have oxygenated fuels required to be used in many states to meet EPA And some states like the dictator run state of kalifornia gas is E10 which is 10% boot leg alcohol ((joke) .

So back to why I asked ….there are things I can suggest about the old fuel but not knowing enough information first I can’t .
