The only drain is the 7MM hose connected to that big 46MM nut looking thing underneath the car .
Be aware that once you undo this hose , _ALL_ the fuel will come rushing out very quickly , have several drain pans handy and plenty of CLEAN non oily towels for the Diesel Fuel that's going to soak you and irritate your skin .
I'd use a long rubber hose down the fuel filler neck to siphon out as much as possible before removing the 46MM thing , it is the in tank screen and will need gentle cleaning with an old toothbrush and fresh gasoline or better , replacement .

This group provides a forum for owners and operators of diesel powered motorhomes and 5th wheel tractors to discuss mechanical issues, regulatory issues (US, Canada), ownership, insurance, campground accommodations, trip reports/suggestions, and other topics relevant to large RVs and the people who drive them.
