I've heard that if the tank is very rusted, you can spin the whole bung that the drain plug screws into right out of the tank! So basically, if the plug is seized and the area around it is weakened by rust, you'll be ripping a hole in your gas tank! The engine needs to be removed to remove the gas tank. So be very careful, and soak the bejesus out of the drain plug with rust penetrant. Unfortunately, your tank may look good from the outside, but you can't see the inside.

I have no experience with this, so others may want to chime in with the best way to go about it.
